Lake Animal Shelter is now at critical capacity after Hurricane Irma’s impact as pets are coming in each day.
“The hurricane has had a drastic impact on our shelter, said Shelter Manager Whitney Boylston in a news release. “We have taken in an additional 125 animals since Irma hit, with more coming in each day. Some people’s homes are unlivable and they are understandably unable to keep their animals with them any longer.”  The shelter is currently housing a large number of 210 dogs.
The shelter is seeking rescue, adopters and fosters to help meet this immediate need. Visit the shelter at 28123 County Road 561, Tavares or call 352-343-9688 or visit www.lakecountyfl.gov/LCAS. Â For most up to date information and photos of adoptable animals, follow the shelter on Facebook at www.facebook.com/LakeCountyAnimalShelter and Twitter at www.twitter.com/lakeshelterpets.
