Shelter FAQs

Animal Services provides a safe, comfortable, and humane environment for all animals in our care. We promote adoptions, responsible pet ownership, and community involvement while working towards reducing pet overpopulation in our community. We strive to reunite lost pets with their owners, determine the most appropriate outcome for animals in our care, provide veterinary forensic evidence, and maintain evidence for cruelty cases. Animal Services is also responsible for protecting people and pets in our community from health-related issues and ensure the public’s safety.
We are located in Inverness and primarily serve the surrounding cities of Floral City, Lecanto, Beverly Hills, Crystal River, Homosassa and Dunnellon. We also regularly have adopters from outside the County, from Tampa Bay, Ocala, Brooksville and Orlando.

Adoption steps

  1. Visit the Facility and Find a Pet
    1. We are here to help you find the one for you! When you come to the shelter please bring your photo ID.
  2. Take the Pet Home
    1. Adopt and the pet is legally yours! Or choose to "slumber party" which is a trial adoption. You will have up to two weeks to decide.
  3. Pay Fee
    1. The adoption fee is $60 for a dog and $35 for a cat. Those living within Citrus County, FL. will also purchase a $10 county license fee.

Additional adoption info

All adopters must be at least 18 years old. The adoption fee is $60 for a dog and $35 for a cat. Those living within Citrus County, FL. will also purchase a $10 county license fee. All pets are spayed/neutered, current on age and species appropriate vaccinations and flea and heartworm prevention. Kittens under 6 months of age are tested for Feline Leukemia (FeLV), and Cats over 6months of age are tested for FeLV and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). Dogs over 6 months of age are tested for heartworm disease. If the dog is heartworm positive, the treatment will be provided by our Veterinarian, at no cost to the adopter, sponsored by our generous community partner Citrus County Foundation for Animal Protection (CCFAP).
