To provide the best service and to make sure our shelter pets receive optimal care and attention, as of October 1st, 2008, pets are admitted to the shelter by appointment only. Please call 955-4131 to schedule an appointment. Non-Sarasota county residents will be charged a $75 surrender fee per pet admitted. HSSC continues to accept all pets regardless of age, breed, or health. Thank you for your cooperation in enabling HSSC to remain open to all without euthanizing for space.
