Pedro's Story

Meet Pedro — A Gentle Soul Learning He’s Safe! Pedro is a shy, sensitive boy who’s still figuring out that the world can be kind. When you call him, he does come to you — but at first, he approaches as if he might be in trouble. It’s clear he’s trying very hard to do the right thing. And then something beautiful happens. Once Pedro realizes you’re a safe human, his whole personality changes. He bursts into happy zoomies, runs joyfully around the yard, and soaks up every bit of love you’re willing to give. He loves being petted, adores being told he’s a good boy, and gazes up at you with attentive, trusting eyes that melt your heart. Pedro’s Highlights: * Shy at first, but warms up beautifully * Polite and well-mannered * Good on leash * Very attentive and people-focused * Thrives with kindness and reassurance Pedro is listed in the 2–6 year age range and weighs 53 lbs. With patience, consistency, and love, he will blossom into a deeply loyal companion for someone who understands gentle souls. If you’re looking for a dog who will truly choose you once he feels safe, Pedro may be the one waiting for you. Come meet Pedro at: Citrus County Animal Services, 4030 S. Airport Rd., Inverness, FL. ID# 59746214

Citrus County Animal Services's Adoption Policy

Interested in adopting a new family member? We are here to help you find the one for you! When you come to the shelter please bring your photo Identification and an open mind and heart. Our amazing staff and volunteers will work with you throughout your visit to help find the right companion for you. *Please note, Adoptions are FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE. When you have decided on the one (or two!) that you would like to add to your family you have two options: Adopt! If you choose to adopt, this means that the new addition is legally yours and you can take them home for endless snuggles and playtime without ever needing to come back to the shelter. Slumber Party foster: This option allows you to take home the dog or cat for two weeks without a formal adoption commitment. At the end of the two weeks (or before) you can choose to finalize the adoption or return the pet. Slumber Party is a great way to learn more about the pet and ensure they are the perfect fit for you. For example, you might think you want the energetic running partner and then decide you are more of a Netflix and snuggle pet owner. What if I want to adopt a pet that is still on stray hold? We are dedicated to reuniting lost pets with their owners, and therefore we honor legal stray holds of 3-5 business days to allow owners to reclaim their pets. If an animal is currently on a stray hold, an adopter may choose to put their name on the wait-list for the animal by calling the shelter at 352-746-8400. If the owner does not come forward when the animal’s stray hold ends, the first person on the wait-list will be given first opportunity to choose to adopt or pass. If the first person passes or is not present at the designated day and time then the second person will be given the opportunity. If no one on the wait-list decides to adopt the day the animal made available for adoption, then the pet will be placed as available for general adoption on a first come-first served basis.
