We've got more good news for your Sunday evening🥳🙌. Bonnie and her owner were reunited today after she went missing from her home in Deltona 10 months ago! Her (‼️updated and correct‼️) microchip helped us locate her dad and bring the two together to celebrate Father's Day.

We cannot stress this enough: chips work📍! But they're useless if they're blank or out of date. If you're worried the microchip in your furry friend needs to be updated, visit the shelter! Our team will check it for you for free to ensure you and your best friend can find each other when needed ❤️🐾.

Meet Benji! Benji went missing‼️two years ago‼️in Miami, leaving his family to believe they’d never see him again. When Benji was found in Lake County a few days ago, Animal Control was able to check his microchip and quickly call his mom📲. We’re so happy that Benji didn’t have to stay at the shelter due to old information or a blank chip!

Remember: If you’re unsure if your pet’s microchip information is correct, we’ll check it for free🐾! Reunification stories like Benji’s are our favorite❤️.

Ringworm. 😟 The dreaded diagnosis for active little kittens! 🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛ Not a worm, at all, this fungal infection can delay adoption by several weeks, and leaves our little kittens feeling lonely and left out. Kittens with ringworm are eligible for our foster program, 🏠 but many foster families find it intimidating. If you are interested in opening your spare bathroom to kittens like Darla, fill out a foster application and send us an email. We'd love to get these babies into loving homes while they finish their treatment! 💙💚🧡We currently have several kittens being treated at the shelter!

🐱While most of our cats get adopted VERY quickly, there are some special cases that stay in our care longer.💗 Stormy has been with us for several weeks and he is being treated for a very large neck wound. His therapy includes regular cleaning and bandage changes, and he is so tolerant of handling! He is a staff favorite and so affectionate. 🥰We know that once he is cleared for adoption, he will find a family that loves him as much as we do. 💙💚🧡It's Adopt-a-Cat Month, and all adoptions are 1/2 off in June!

Our Story

The Lake County Animal Shelter was designated as a no-kill shelter in 2017.

A new facility, which is currently under construction, will have the necessary amount of space to temporarily house hundreds of dogs, cats and other pets as they wait for adoption.

Furthering its commitment to remaining a no-kill shelter, the facility will feature an open-air cat porch, a dog viewing site and an area where animals and their potential owners can get to know each other.

The new shelter, to be funded by Lake County’s penny sales tax, will also feature an education room, a surgery room, cat and dog isolation areas and adoption areas.
