Seminole County Animal Services
Our Mission
At Seminole County Animal Services, our dedicated team of staff and volunteers is committed to providing responsible, reliable, and efficient care. We strive to enrich, preserve, and respect the lives of all animals in our community.
Our History and Commitment
Established in the early 1970s, our organization was created to implement local ordinances that prevent domestic animal nuisances and provide a safe, welcoming space for stray and homeless pets. Today, we continue this legacy by not only enforcing vital safety ordinances but also offering essential services like microchipping and rabies vaccinations to ensure every pet stays healthy and protected.
Providing a Home for All
Our facility in Sanford serves as a hub of care where we prioritize the well-being of every animal. Beyond our shelter walls, we offer diverse opportunities to get involved, including foster programs and volunteer initiatives that directly impact the lives of homeless pets. Whether you are looking to adopt or simply want to lend a helping hand, there is a place for you in our community.
Find Your New Best Friend
We believe that every pet deserves a loving, forever home, and we encourage you to Adopt—Don't Shop. By visiting our shelter, you can meet our current residents, learn about their unique personalities, and find the perfect match for your family. We are here to support you through the adoption process and ensure a joyful, lasting partnership.
