Community Pet Pantry Depleted:
Supplies of dry cat and dog food are critically low again for Lee County Domestic Animal Services’ (LCDAS) Community Pet Pantry. The agency needs donations to continue assisting pet owners facing tough economic times.
Through the Community Pet Pantry LCDAS distributes pet food and supplies to owners that would need to surrender their pets to shelters due to their inability to provide food and care. LCDAS is currently providing food for more than 800 pets directly and also helping several low-income neighborhoods supply pet food for their residents’ pets.
Anyone who can assist may bring donations to the shelter at 5600 Banner Drive, Fort Myers, next to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office off Six Mile Cypress Pkwy. Donations may be left at the door any time the shelter is not open.
Pet owners receiving public assistance may contact LCDAS at 239-533-7387 (LEE-PETS) to be placed on an approved list to receive pet food. A Spay/Neuter and Vaccine Program is also available for those on public assistance.
