Football season is here, and Lee County Domestic Animal Services is ready to help families build their ultimate home team with its “Draft Your New Best Friend” adoption promotion.
Throughout September, adult dog adoption fees will be reduced to just $50, while cats and kittens can be adopted for $20. And for feline fans looking to draft two new teammates, you can adopt one and get a friend free for cats and kittens.
Whether you’re looking for a four-legged quarterback, a loyal linebacker or the purr-fect wide receiver, pet lovers can huddle up and adopt, score a forever friend, and give a shelter pet the ultimate home field advantage − a loving home.
Every adoption from Lee County Domestic Animal Services includes:
- Spay or neuter surgery
- Microchip
- Up-to-date vaccinations
- Lee County license
- A 10-day health check
Don’t let these free agents sit on the bench. Draft your MVP and give a shelter pet a home field advantage.
Lee County Domestic Animal Services serves as the county’s only stray intake facility, providing care, shelter and second chances for thousands of animals each year. With community support, more pets can find their way to loving homes.
Adoptions take place at the shelter, 5600 Banner Drive, Fort Myers. Adoption hours are 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Adoption applications can be submitted electronically at www.leegov.com/animalservices/

Not ready to adopt? The county has additional options for the community to help the shelter:
- A robust fostering program; learn more at www.leegov.com/animalservices/foster
- The Weekend Warrior program. This program lets community members give a shelter pet a break by fostering for a weekend or week. Learn more at www.leegov.com/animalservices/weekendwarrior
Lee County encourages the community to play an active role in the welfare of domestic animals. Responsible pet ownership is the key to reducing the number of animals in the county shelter. Pet owners must ensure the animal is identified and chipped, is properly vaccinated, is spayed or neutered, and is licensed.
The county would like to remind pet owners that licensing can be done online from a cell phone or computer; residents do not need to visit Animal Services in person. It’s a convenient, easy way to obtain a license and pay for it in one stop. Visit www.leegov.com/animalservices/
