Marion County Animal Services is waiving all adoption fees for the month of April.
The county’s animal shelter located at 5701 SE 66th Street in Ocala has recently become overcrowded with dogs, and the facility’s staff are turning to the community to help find these pets a forever home.
Jim Sweet, Animal Services Director, said, “We want to provide the opportunity for Marion County citizens to come to our facility and add a best friend to their family. Right now, we have over 130 dogs available for adoption, and we want to encourage everyone to consider creating forever homes for these great dogs that just need a chance for a better life.”
The primary goal of Animal Services is to provide a good home for the adoptable pets within the community. Effective immediately, residents can visit the facility and adopt a pet for free. Each adoptable pet is spayed or neutered, updated on all vaccinations, and microchipped with all owner information.
Animal Services is also accepting donations which will help improve the lives of all animals within the facility. Donations can be made in person, online, or mailed to Marion County Animal Services at: 5701 SE 66th Street, Ocala, FL 34480.
