Citrus County Animal Services Seeks Adopters & Fosters, Temporarily Waives Fees

Because of this, adoption fees have been waived until further notice. Citrus County Animal Services (CCAS) adoptions are available to Citrus County residents, as well as residents of other counties. Citrus County residents will still be required to pay a license fee of $10 while adoption fees are waived.

Those who cannot adopt are encouraged to consider fostering. Fostering allows dogs to get a break from the shelter environment, opens space for other animals that must come into the shelter, and helps staff learn more about their personalities, which can be helpful in efforts to place them in “forever homes.”

The animals available for adoption at CCAS are listed on the Citrus County website: www.citrusbocc.com/departments/community_services/animal_services/find_a_pet.php. This site is updated in real-time and has the most up-to-date listings of animals available for adoption.

If you have any questions, are interested in fostering, or would like to consider adoption, please visit the shelter or contact CCAS at (352) 746-8400.
