Animal Shelter

At the Florence County Municipal Animal Shelter, our mission is to provide compassionate care and safe shelter for homeless and abandoned animals in our community. We are dedicated to promoting responsible pet ownership, reducing the overpopulation of pets through spay/neuter programs, and facilitating the adoption of animals into loving, forever homes. Through education, community outreach, and collaboration with rescue organizations, we strive to enhance the lives of both animals and people, creating a humane and caring environment for all.
