Sarasota County Animal Services

Throughout the past six months, we've had to call animal control a handful of times. Sometimes, it's during business hours, but today, I had to call this one in as an emergency to get this beautiful opossum some help. The operator was very informative and let me know the signs of what defensiveness. The ACS officer responded within a half hour and pursued a 20-minute tug of war to get this little thing some help. ACS never disappoints and is always there for our fur covered friends. ACS is my goto when I see a fur friend that's lost and/or in danger.

I am super impressed by Megan’s promptness & professionalism in removing a large iguana from our back patio! She did an amazing job! Thank you so much!

The staff was knowledgeable and friendly! It was clean and well taken care of and staff members were walking dogs, giving them attention and putting them into play pens to have fun. One of the best county shelters I’ve seen! The pets looked in good health also!
