Our Mission
Pinellas County Animal Services is dedicated to safeguarding public health, public safety, and animal welfare. We strive to enhance the quality of life in our community through compassionate education, public outreach, and a commitment to animal care.
Our Commitment to Care
We work tirelessly toward the elimination of neglect and abuse of domestic animals within our jurisdiction. By providing professional care and resources, we ensure that every animal that comes through our doors receives the attention and medical support they deserve. We are proud to have recently expanded our capabilities with new, air-conditioned kennel buildings and an on-site medical hospital to ensure our animals stay comfortable and healthy.
