Our Featured Pet...

About us

An average of 40 dogs and 20 cats can be housed at the shelter. Every animal admitted to the shelter receives medical care, a warm safe environment in which to heal and learn to trust, and much love to aid in preparation for being adopted. The programs are made possible by caring people who provide donations and adoptions which keep the doors open.

Stray animals should be reported to and found animals should be dropped off at Animal Control. Some anxious owner might be waiting to be reunited with his/her pet. Drop off cages for dogs and cages for cats are available at the entrance of the Shelter for after-hours use. If you've lost an animal, please contact Animal control immediately to fill out a lost and found report. To report vicious, nuisance or abused domestic animals please contact Animal Control at 926-0902.

Adopting a friend

CHAT of Wakulla, a Partner to the Wakulla County Animal Control, requests adoptive families to complete a questionnaire. We also want to know whether you object to a visit from us at your home. Dogs over 35 lbs must have a fenced in yard. Chaining your dog is out of the question. Prospective owners must be 18 years old. They must understand the local leash law (Ordinance No. 95-29). Shelter animals have an unknown medical history and you must agree to a check-up by a Veterinarian within 7 working days. Adoption fees are $95 for kittens and $75 for cats. $125 for dogs, $95 for senior dogs, $150 for puppies and $200 for Purebreds. Those fees cover rabies shots, a distemper/parvo shot for puppies and kittens, regular wormings, microchip registration, 30 days of prepaid insurance, bordetella and spay/neuter costs and a bag of Science Diet dog food. Animals up for adoption must be at least 8 weeks old. Puppies and kittens will receive their first shot and a worming at the shelter before leaving the facility. >
