Animal Shelter Changes Hours Of Operation
April 25, 2018
The Escambia County Animal Shelter will change its hours of operation effective Tuesday, May 1. The shelter will now offer pet adoptions on Mondays, providing adoption services to the public six days a week instead of five. Currently the shelter is open Mondays for animal intakes only.
The new shelter hours will be:
- Monday-Friday, noon to 5 p.m.
- Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (no change)
The changes will increase the number of days the shelter is open for adoptions, alleviate staffing issues and improve customer service by increasing the number of employees available during the hours the shelter is open to the public. This will also eliminate confusion regarding Monday services, with the shelter offering all services Monday through Friday, instead of limited services on Monday only.
For more information, please contact the Escambia County Animal Shelter directly at (850) 595-3075. The shelter is located at 200 West Fairfield Drive.

Linda. That would defeat the whole purpose of ridding the cat from sleeping on top of my truck and defecating in the flower bed at my front door.
@just sayin – why not give the cat back to the owner instead of taking it to the pound? just sayin!
Opening so late in the day makes your neighbors cat that you caught the night before in a trap have to spend extra time cooped up before you can drop off at the pound.
