Date:10/10/2022
Department:County Manager
Background:

Nassau County Animal Care and Control promotes and protects public safety and animal care through sheltering, adoption programs, education and animal law enforcement. Our philosophy is to promote responsible pet ownership, compassion towards animals and safe human-animal interactions. Nassau County Animal Services is responsible for animal related public safety. This is achieved through shared county values including professionalism, responsibility, compassion, commitment, integrity, accountability, and community partnerships.

 

In fiscal year 2021-2022, Animal Services returned 530 animals to their owners and adopted 1,536 animals in their care!

 

Currently, Animal services is at 100% canine capacity, so all adoption fees on dogs over 6 months are waived.  If adoption isn’t for you, fostering animals on a temporary basis is also an option.

 

Upcoming adoptions events are being held at the following locations:

  • October 13-23, 5:00PM – 9:00PM at the Northeast Florida Fair
  • October 28, 5:00PM – 8:00PM, Halloween Festival, Yulee Athletic Complex
