The Animal Center serves as a temporary shelter for homeless pets.

It is our intention to be a safe, caring and temporary place of hope for the thousands of animals entering our shelter each year. Our compassionate staff work diligently to lessen the unnatural & often frightening experience of coming into care at a center.

Whether we meet our guests as strays, lost pets or rescues from cruelty cases, each animal is cared for & provided a safe, clean, & caring environment for the duration of its stay.

Animal Services connects a variety of species, breeds, styles, and colors of pets to their new homes, & doesn’t impose time limits on how long our guests can stay.

For animals that are too young, old, or unhealthy to be placed for adoption, we partner with foster homes &/or rescue groups. 

Animal Center services

The Animal Center offers the following services to residents & their pets.

Pet licenses & microchips

You take care of your pet. You give it food, water and vet care. But if you haven't licensed your pet with the county, you're not giving your pet all the care it deserves, & you're in violation of the law.

Neuter Commuter

Animal Services provides lower-cost spay/neuter surgeries for animals of Marion County residents through its Neuter Commuter program.
