Great, helpful staff. Clean everywhere. They give great care and thoughtfulness to the pets and people. If you don't adopt, consider donating some time, or money, or pet food to help this group to continue to do good things.

Wonderful, caring staff. I work with Melissa Ritter and James Terry on a non profit program called Heel to Heal where I instruct inmates from HCI to foster and train dogs from HCAS to get them adopted out. They both have been extremely supportive in fostering and improving this unique and wonderful program that gets the dogs adopted and ensures they have the skills to be able to transition easily into their new homes. Check them out sometime and ask about Heel to Heal!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Is anyone allowed to give dogs vaccines? Shouldn’t this be administered by a licensed Vet? Do not animals in Hernando County need to be registered?

Kyle Goodnow | Aug 18, 2020
Richelle G. | Aug 18, 2020

Not sure what this has to do with the shelter, but rabies vaccinations are given by licenced vets. Other vaccinations, like the ones you can buy at feed stores, can be given by anyone.

Will you pick up strays? I have 2 dogs that I believe someone dropped off in the woods and they found there way to my property. They need to go my parents health is not good .

Call animal control and see if the dogs are chipped.

James Terry allegedly puts down animals when they're ok & there's room & all he cares about is keeping his inventory numbers down & animals allegedly suffer & die under his watch. 😢 Why does God allow men like him to be in charge? Poor animals. 😢

It is a kill shelter so as long as you understand their is a big chance your dog will be killed, I believe so but your best bet is to contact recuse in yours and surrounding areas. Having a pet means being responsible for another life.

Janice Alfaro | Aug 18, 2020
Evan Robinson | Aug 18, 2020

If I remember correctly you just have to fill out the application and pay the fee. If you own a home then you should be fine. If you rent, you will have to have a landlord's approval.

Van I find a teacup poodle there?

wesley chafin | Aug 18, 2020
Cheryl Hullar | Aug 18, 2020

They get all breeds of dogs big and small. It's a hit and miss though on what you find. You have to keep checking back.

I'm shocked to learn you are a kill shelter. How long do you keep a dog, if not adopted, before you kill the poor fur baby? Also, what types of campaigns are done to promote adoptions thru Hernando county animal shelter?

Nicole Popis-Post | Aug 19, 2019
Susan Sladich | Aug 19, 2019

It use to be 7 days i think but I know they keep them till they need room it's kitten season now so all the shelters and fosters are overrun 😢 If people would have their animals fixed so they can't reproduce...less animals would be killed Also feral cats are being sterilized, an ear clipped and returned to their group..that's better than dead..but they need donations to do this These two things are the answer to overpopulation...not death Adopt ..don't shop..

Maria Isabel Martin | Aug 19, 2018
Richelle G. | Aug 19, 2018

The "three days" is just a mandatory hold placed by the shelter to give animal owners a chance to find their animals there and claim them. That's it, nothing more. Does not count days they are closed. BUSINESS DAYS
