Manatee County Animal Services

The Division of Animal Services enforces the County's Animal Ordinance and the Florida Laws relating to animals, provides an animal adoption program, picks up and shelters stray, sick and/or injured animals, issues rabies license/certificates, investigates animal cruelty and neglect, and quarantines animals that have bitten someone.  Animal Services works closely with all area shelters, many other local animal groups and animal welfare organizations.
