Pet Food Donations needed at Animal Services
Citrus County Animal Services is asking for the public’s help in meeting the needs
of financially challenged citizens who own pets. The goal is to afford those residents the
ability to feed their pets.
Animal Services is asking citizens to deliver pet food donations to their local food
bank or to the Animal Services shelter in Inverness to help those residents keep their animals
rather than surrender them to the shelter because they don’t have the money to feed them.
Animal Services staff says dog food is especially in short supply. For more infor-
mation on how you can help, call 352-746-8400. Monetary donations may be mailed to:
Citrus County Animal Services; 4030 South Airport Road, Inverness, FL 34450. The shelter
is located at the end of Airport Road, which is off U.S. 41 between the Inverness Airport and
the county auditorium/fairgrounds, just south of Inverness.
