Fostering saves lives!
This tiny kitten is just one week old—a perfect example of why fosters are so essential.

We're always looking for new kitten and dog fosters. Whether it’s a fragile newborn, a nursing mama, a pet recovering from a medical procedure, or an animal who just needs a break from the shelter, foster homes make all the difference.

By opening your heart and home, even temporarily, you’re giving vulnerable animals the chance to heal, grow, and thrive.

Sign up today to become one of our amazing fosters at PBHSN! 🐾💙

Nala had an amazing time on her Rescue Recess adventure! She cruised down 5th Ave, stopped by the fire station for some treats and belly rubs from the firefighters, and wrapped up her day with a well-deserved pup cup. Talk about a perfect day!

Now back at the shelter, Nala is resting up and dreaming of her forever home. She’s just 3 years old, full of love, and always ready for her next adventure. She adores people, gets along great with other dogs, and would make the perfect companion.

Come meet her at our main shelter—you might be her perfect match!

Another Foster Friday! Meet Asia, a 4-year-old pup loving every moment in her foster home. She’s mastered walking on a leash and is ready to find her forever family!

Her foster shares:
"Asia is a beautiful, sweet-natured, and well-mannered dog. She walks like a dream on a leash, enjoys her surroundings, and gets along with other friendly dogs—though she prefers to keep her distance from more assertive ones. At home, she’s the perfect companion—calm, affectionate, and always happy to be by your side. She’s comfortable in a crate and just wants to feel like part of the family. Asia would thrive with an owner who can give her the love, exercise, and attention she deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal adventure buddy and cuddle partner, Asia is the one for you!" ❤️🐶

Sweet Jack is having a tough time in the shelter environment. For a dog like him, daily mental enrichment is essential—and while he gets that here, nothing compares to the comfort of a loving home.

Jack has been overlooked for 162 days… and we’re not sure why. He’s only 3 years old and is truly the biggest lovebug. He adores being close to his human friends—sit on the ground, and he’ll gladly climb into your lap. Yes, he’s a 65-pound lap dog who loves to relax and watch the world go by.

But Jack isn’t just a cuddle buddy—he’s also playful and full of life! He loves staying active, especially a good game of tug-of-war. He’s a social guy who makes new human friends instantly and will be your best buddy from day one. Don’t be intimidated by his size—he’s just a big teddy bear who’s always ready for snacks and snuggles.

Let’s find Jack the loving home he deserves. And if adoption isn’t possible for you right now, please consider fostering him to give him a much-needed break from the shelter.

Share this video and come meet Jack at our main shelter—he’ll be waiting! Jack is available for adoption or at Patty Baker Humane Society Naples in Naples, FL.

Patty Baker Humane Society Naples supports Collier County Domestic Animal Services' proactive measures to safeguard the health and well-being of the cats under their care. Our leadership team is actively working with the County and the community to provide assistance during this time.

Community involvement through adoption and fostering can help create space in local shelters, enabling us to offer ongoing assistance to animals requiring help.

Please consider adopting from PBHSN and DAS if you can. Adoptable animals can be seen at: pbhsnaples.org/adopt and collierpets.com.

If you are interested in stepping up to help foster during this challenging time, please visit pbhsnaples.org/foster to learn more.

Collier County Domestic Animal Services today announced a temporary closure to feline intake from Monday, July 14, through Wednesday, July 30, citing a recent increase in communicable diseases for cats in the shelter.

Effective immediately, DAS will suspend the intake of cats during this period, except for critical cases involving sick, injured, or otherwise vulnerable animals requiring immediate medical care.

Compared to June 2024, DAS has seen a 60% increase in cats entering the shelter during June 2025. This surge mirrors a troublesome national trend of more pets arriving than leaving shelters, leading to severe population imbalances and a strain on resources.

This is the first intake closure Collier County DAS has enacted in 2025. The decision was made with careful consideration for animal welfare and in consultation with animal welfare experts. By pausing intake, DAS will be able to stabilize the current shelter population, ensure animals already in the facility receive necessary medical care and attention, and mitigate the risk of disease spread.

Earlier this week, the Collier County Board of County Commissioners approved waiving adoption fees through September 9, 2025. DAS is urgently calling on the community to consider adopting or fostering animals during this intake suspension period.

During the closure:
• The DAS Adoption Center will remain open for pet adoptions, with all adoption fees waived.
• Essential services, including emergency response and animal control, will continue without interruption.
• The department will continue to focus on placing animals already in its care through adoption events, partnerships with rescue organizations, and foster programs.

Collier County Domestic Animal Services expresses deep gratitude for the support from the community during this stabilization period.

Individuals interested in helping are encouraged to adopt, foster, volunteer, or donate supplies.

For more information and updates, please visit www.collierpets.com or call (239) 252-7387 (PETS).

Happy Foster Friday! Meet Mister, a 17-year-old senior kitty who's been lucky to spend time in a wonderful foster home. But even with all the love she’s received, she’s still searching for her forever family. Mister is a sweet, independent cat who prefers human company over other animals, and she’s not shy about sharing her opinions!

Her foster parent says: "She's a very sweet cat but needs to be the only pet in the home. She doesn’t get along with other animals. She loves basking in the sun and enjoys attention on her own terms."

If you think Mister could be your purrfect companion, email us at [email protected]!

Sweet Lucille spent over four years in a home but was recently returned—through no fault of her own. Now at 9 years old, this senior girl is back in the shelter environment, which can be especially tough on older dogs.

Lucille deserves to spend her golden years in the comfort of a loving home, not in a kennel. She’s an absolute sweetheart—gentle, friendly, and always wagging her tail. She loves meeting new people and is ready to win over your heart. What’s not to love?

Stop by our von Arx Adoption Center to meet her—she’ll be waiting with that happy tail wag!

Lucille is available for adoption (or foster depending on what we are looking for) at Patty Baker Humane Society Naples in Naples, FL.

Ace was stunned to hear he was chosen as the July Subaru Dog of the Month! He can't wait to be adopted and go home with a Subaru goodie bag to start his new life out on the right paw. Thank you to our friends at DeVoe Subaru of Naples for sponsoring Ace's adoption 🧡🐾

Ace is a six month old ball of energy who loves to play and isn’t afraid to speak his mind—especially when romping around with other dogs. He’s got a big personality but knows when to dial it back, often showing a more submissive side when hanging with the rough and rowdy crowd. Whether it’s zoomies or making new friends, Ace brings the fun and then some!

Meet Ace today at the PBHSN Main Shelter, open 12:30-4:30pm for adoptions!
