Domestic Animal Services Mission Statement:
“To ensure compliance with local and State animal-related laws; to return strays to their owners and promote the adoption of homeless animals to new families; and to work toward ending the community problem of pet overpopulation.”
Prevent Pets from Becoming Homeless
As a pet owner, you have the power to educate yourself to prevent your own pet from becoming lost and ending up at Domestic Animal Services. DAS is asking that all pet owners do the following:
-
Leash your animals - yes this includes cats (keeps them out of trouble and within grip)
- Fence property in - if you plan on having your dog outdoors without a leash on your property
- Micro chip your animals so if it becomes lost a local shelter may scan the pet and contact you immediately!
-
License all dogs and cats - why? If you license them, we can take them right home if we find them rather than impound them at our shelter.

DAS is reaching out to you!
DAS staff love to go to groups and talk about the work they do and to educate the public about Collier County's regulations. We also provide off-site adoptions of cats and dogs upon request.
If you are a business and would like to have pet adoptions at your event, contact Hailey Alonso at (239) 252-6950 or e-mail.
What is DAS's focus?
Our goal is to eliminate the many homeless pets this county has by finding every animal a home and by educating the public about leashing, licensing and micrco chipping animals so that we know how to contact lost pets' owners.
If we know how to reach you, your lost pet could be back in your arms very quickly. 90 percent or more of shelter pets that come in as stray animals are owned animals.
It is also imperative that if you have a cat or dog and are not breeding or showing the animal that you spay or neuter the pet. Why? By spaying and neutering, you are reducing the number of homeless pets and increasing the chances for surrendered pets at the shelter to find homes. |
