Hours Changing At Escambia Animal Shelter

March 23, 2015

The Escambia County Animal Shelter at1 200 West Fairfield Drive will change its hours of operation, effective April 6.

Currently the Shelter is open from noon to 6 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.  After the change, the shelter will be open Tuesdays-Fridays to 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturdays to 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and opening Mondays (11 a.m. to 5 p.m.) for intake of stray animals only.

The proposed changes will increase the hours available to the public for turning in stray animals, alleviate staffing issues and improve customer service by increasing the number of employees available during the hours the shelter is open to the public.

The change to Saturday’s hours is in response to the trend of significant traffic reduction after 3 p.m. Opening earlier will encourage the public to visit the shelter on Saturdays knowing they still have time to do other things in the afternoon.

For more information, please contact the Escambia County Animal Shelter directly at (850) 595-3075.

    Also one hour less for people who work to look at dogs and cats. The 6 pm was good for this.
