SHS Pet Surrender Admissions Are By Appointment Only
We accept pets surrendered by City of Fort Pierce residents by appointment only. This is for a couple of reasons:
Attention Saint Lucie County Residents outside of the City of Fort Pierce:
We unfortunately no longer accept strays or surrendered animals from outside the Fort Pierce city limits.
For strays and owner-turn-ins, you must contact the Saint Lucie County Animal Safety Division:
Phone: 772-462-8120
Address: 3404 W Midway Rd
- To manage our shelter numbers
- Ensure we can receive your pet on a day when we are ready for them
- For the interest of the animal: so we can learn about them, their history, their personalities, etc. to be better able to quickly rehome them.
