Pet Surrender
If you can no longer care for your animal and wish to surrender them to HSNC you must either call us at 352-796-2711 or stop by the shelter and fill out the owner surrender form. Once submitted to the front desk it will take up to 48 hours for an animal care technician to call you to schedule an appointment to bring in your animal for an evaluation.
We have limited space so there is no guarantee that we would be able to take your animal. Please refer to our resource page for links to other organizations in our area.
Pet Pantry
For Hernando County citizens who are struggling to feed their pets, we offer free dog and cat food at our shelter:
Receiving food assistance is on a first come, first serve basis. Recipients must provide proof of residence. For more information about food distribution, please contact 352-796-2711.
If you would like to help those owners and pets in need, please donate a bag of pet food to our shelter.
