Collier Domestic Animal Services Calls on Community

Collier County Domestic Animal Services (DAS) is at a critical capacity point and urgently seeking help from the community. With one of the shelter’s primary kennel buildings temporarily closed due to construction, available space is severely limited. At the same time, the shelter is experiencing a steady increase in the number of animals coming into its care. This strain is expected to intensify over the upcoming holiday weekend, when shelters across the country commonly see a spike in lost pets due to fireworks. DAS anticipates a further surge in stray animal intakes in the days surrounding the holiday and is asking the public to act now.

How the Community Can Help:

1. Adopt: Give a shelter pet a permanent, loving home.
2. Foster: Offer temporary care — even a short stay makes a significant impact.
3. Share the Message: Spread the word to help reach others who can assist. 

Fostering requires no previous experience; all supplies and support are provided. Every pet moved into a home opens a kennel for another animal in need. Collier County DAS remains committed to protecting and placing every animal in its care and encourages all residents to take part in helping us navigate this critical time.
