Pet Adoption Information Request

Animal Services continuously receives friendly, adorable animals who need loving homes. Our animals come from various sources, such as stray animals or animals from private homes where to owner can no longer care for them. Many of them have been neglected or abandoned, but love can make a big difference in their lives .

Dog adoptions are $50 and Cat Adoptions are $40. Both fees include a  refundable deposit. The Adopter is responsible for getting their new pet sterilized and vaccinated against rabies. When this has been done and proof provided to Animal Services, a check request will be submitted for a refund of the deposit. If you are a Hernando County resident, you will also receive a free one-year Hernando County Animal License. Please see additional information under the link "Adopting a Pet" on the Animal Services Webpage.

If you would like a friend who will love you unconditionally and bring joy to your life, please visit our shelter located at 19450 Oliver Street in Brooksville to find your new friend. In order to be considered for adoption, you are required to complete an application for the animal you are interested in. All adoptions require an approved application. To save time, download an adoption application to fill out and bring with you on your visit.

We regret that we are unable to maintain a "wish list" and cannot provide callbacks when particular "wanted" animals (i.e. purebreds, specific colors, puppies, kittens, etc.) arrive at the shelter. Please continue to check with us if you are looking for a particular type of animal.
