1. Pet of the Month – Commissioner Pendergrass

Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

This item concerns a planned pet adoption event and related outreach programs by Lee County Domestic Animal Services. The county is planning an 'Empty the Shelters' event from May 1, 2026, through May 17, 2026, waiving all adoption fees with an approved application. Additionally, plans include pet safety programs at local summer camps and cat adoption days at libraries. These initiatives are currently under review and are part of the county's ongoing efforts to promote animal adoption and safety. The scope of work would involve event coordination, marketing and outreach, and potentially temporary staffing or volunteer management for adoption events. Local businesses involved in event services, marketing, printing, and potentially pet supply or services could find opportunities related to these planned activities. Engaging early could provide an advantage as specific needs and vendor selections are determined.
