City of Florence Animal Control Department How to Adopt:
Our Service Area
covers 370 total miles in the city, with a population of
40,000. The animal shelter of the Animal Control
Department receives an average of 600 unwanted animals per
month during the summer and an average of 365 per month during
the rest of the year.
This year we adopted out 1,064 pets! An all-time high ! In
1999 our staff set a goal of one day adopting out 1,000 pets
in a single year. At the time this goal was set we were
adopting out about 400 pets a year. With a solid marketing and
business plan our goal has been reached.
If you would like to adopt an animal from the shelter, stop
by during regular business hours, Monday-Friday, 9 AM - 5 PM.
We are closed from 12:00 until 1:30 PM for lunch and shelter
clean-up. Adoption fees are $15.00 plus $50.00 for spay
or neuter.
