Lee County Domestic Animal Services staff will be at various off-site locations to be available for residents to bring stray animals to be scanned for microchips. It’s called the “Do What’s Right – REUNITE” initiative.
Independence Day created an influx of stray pets because of firework celebrations, which frequently startle dogs and cats. Animal Services experiences this each year and recognizes that it is not always convenient for residents to bring found animals to the county facility within 24 hours, which is required by county ordinance.
To assist with this, staff will be at the following locations for Do What’s Right – Reunite:
Thursday, July 7- North Fort Myers Recreation Center, 2000 N. Recreation Way, North Fort Myers, from 10 a.m. to noon.
Thursday, July 7- Veterans Park, 55 Homestead Road, Lehigh Acres, from 2 to 4 p.m
Friday, July 8- Estero Recreation Center, 9200 Corkscrew Palms Blvd., Estero, from 10 a.m. to noon
Residents arriving with stray animals they have found are asked to have dogs secured on leashes and cats placed in carriers.
