Wellness Hour services are available for cats and dogs. Appointments for Wellness Hour services are required and can be scheduled by visiting https://bit.ly/LCASWellnessHour. Wellness Hour services are not a substitute for an annual visit to a private veterinarian and only healthy pets will be seen.
The shelter is located at 12280 County Road 448 in Tavares, FL 32778. It is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 12 pm to 6 pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 12 pm to 5 pm. The shelter is closed Wednesdays and holidays.
“This program provides a learning opportunity for our resident Lake Tech students, promotes the health of pets in our community, and aids in proactive reunification of lost pets,” said Whitney Boylston, director of the Lake County Animal Shelter.
