Fall in love with a new pet at Pinellas County Animal Services

It’s finally fall – the perfect time to cozy up with a new furry best friend. Take advantage of fall adoptions at Pinellas County Animal Services through the end of September.

As part of the fall special, the adoption fee for dogs will be reduced to $25 during normal shelter adoption hours. The fee includes medical checkup, spaying/neutering, vaccinations, internal and external parasite control and microchipping. The required Pinellas County license is also provided.

“This is the place to come and adopt your new furry best friend,” says Maureen Freaney, director of Pinellas County Animal Services. “We have many great adoptable dogs waiting for their forever home.” Pinellas County Animal Services has had a seasonal spike in dogs and really wants to get the animals out to loving homes.
