animal shelters

Lee County animal shelter offers $30 donation fees for adopting adult dogs and cats.

Dorlisa, a popular Greek name meaning vision and Gift of God, has been living at the Gulf Coast Humane Society shelter in Fort Myers for more than a year, unusual for the majority of animals that pass through the no-kill facility. Her breed, pitbull/terrier mix, goes against her since many Lee County rentals and HOAs have breed and weight restrictions.

The dog days of summer have been sweltering for the Gulf Coast Humane Society.Three air conditioners at the no-kill shelter wheezed their final breaths in the past 10 days, putting an unexpected financial burden on the non-profit.

The Lee County Domestic Animal Services will turn October into #Dogtober this year and provide the chance for those looking for a canine companion to make a choice in celebration of Adopt a Shelter Dog Month.
