About us
The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office took over the responsibilities of Animal Control from the County Government on Oct.1, 1994. The name "Animal Control" was changed to "Animal Services" due to the many services provided to all of Sarasota County.
Animal Service Officers respond to calls for service, including nuisance complaints, animal bites, injured animals and animal cruelty.
Lost and Found
Our goal is to help reunite lost animals with their families. We keep a list of animals that are reported missing and those that are found in hopes of making a match. We recommend that pets be microchipped as a means of secondary identification. To make it easier for your pets to be returned should they get lost, be certain to keep current identification tags on them at all times. If you have lost an animal and wish to report this, please contact animal services at: (941) 861-9501. Leave a message if you get an answering machine; we do check it regularly and including weekends & Holidays. Please leave the following information: animal type/description, name of the animal, last seen location, your name, address, contact information. Please remember to follow up with us if we call you back and reach your answering machine or voicemail.
Adoptions
The goal of our adoption program is to help place the stray and unwanted pets brought into our facility. Each dog or cat is given an overall health exam by one of our Animal Care Technicians. The adoption fee for dogs/puppies is $70. The fee for cats/kittens is $60. This fee includes neutering or spaying (FSS 823.15, requires that any dog or cat adopted from an animal shelter must be surgically sterilized), a rabies vaccination and county license for the first year, and dogs are AVID micro chipped for identification.
Animal Services has no maximum holding period for an adoptable animal. The length of time an animal is kept depends on how well the animal handles being kenneled. These evaluations are done on an individual basis and the... show more determination of how long to keep an animal is based on observations made by the Animal Care Technicians.
On occasion we have other animals for adoption, such as birds, ferrets and rabbits. For information on these animals contact the Animal Services Center at (941) 861-9500.
