Pet Registration 

Depending on the emergency, certain shelters will be pet friendly. Service animals are allowed in the shelters. If you do have a service animal you are required to bring to the shelter: food, water, feeding dishes, extra leash, vaccination records, and waste bags. If you have a pet please make advanced arrangements as space is limited.

Have the following items on hand for your pet sheltering plan:

• Current Vaccination Records
• Food & Water for 14 Days
• Feeding Dishes/Bedding
• Pet Carrier Label w/ name, address, and phone number

If necessary, the County's Domestic Animal Services may be able to shelter pets for those persons with the Special Needs Program if you cannot make other arrangements. Please register with the Department of Animal Services by calling (239) 252-7387. Shelter capacity is limited.
