MANATEE COUNTY, Fla. — The county's animal welfare facilities are awash in stray pets, days after Debby left its mark in the county and beyond.
In a news release, the county said 129 stray animals have been brought to the Manatee County Animal Welfare facilities this month.
The shelter is currently waiving all fees associated with reclaims and adoptions. Staff is also extending stray holds for a few of the flood affected areas.
If your pet went missing during the storm, please visit the MCAW Bishop location (5718 21st Ave. W., Bradenton) to inquire about your pet.
The county said posting lost dog information on social media may also help reunite pet and owner more quickly.
While some of the 129 animals are on “hurricane hold” for a two-week period at the Bishop shelter, there are dozens of other dogs, kittens and rabbits currently there for adoption.
