Polk County Animal Control
Our Mission
The men and women of Polk County Animal Control are dedicated to serving our community with integrity and compassion while ensuring the health and safety of the animals in our care. We strive to provide healthy, loving pets with the second chances they deserve through our adoption program.
Who We Are
As part of the Polk County Sheriff's Office, we work to enforce county ordinances and state statutes to protect both pets and people. Our commitment to animal welfare is driven by a deep respect for our community and a proactive approach to pet safety, responsible ownership, and public service.
Our Approach to Care
At our Winter Haven facility, our dedicated staff provides daily care, medical attention, and essential services to the animals awaiting their forever homes. Our adoption process is designed to be comprehensive and transparent, ensuring every pet is ready for success with vaccinations, microchipping, and spay or neuter services already completed.
The Joy of Adoption
Adopting a pet is a joyful partnership that enriches both the animal's life and your own. We believe in building stronger, safer communities by connecting our adoptable dogs and cats with compassionate individuals and families who are ready to welcome a new companion into their lives.
Join Us in Making a Difference
Whether you are looking to find your next best friend or are interested in supporting our mission, we invite you to explore our available pets online or visit our kennel in Winter Haven. Together, we can continue to make Polk County a wonderful place for people and pets alike. To view our current adoptable residents, please visit our website or contact us at 863-577-1762.
