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 animals they have found to the county facility within 24 hours, which is required by county ordinance.
To assist with this, staff will be at the Estero Recreation Center from 10 a.m. to noon on Friday, July 8 for Do What’s Right – Reunite.
Residents arriving with stray animals they have found are asked to have dogs secured on leashes and cats placed in carriers.
