It’s National Pet Month, so call the Homer Animal Shelter to start celebrating with your new furry friend. The Homer Animal Shelter is open for adoptions, owner surrenders, license and tag purchase, stray drop-off and pick-up, and pet food pick-up and drop-off by appointment only. We are also open for socializing, but that, too, will be done by appointment only. Please call 235-3141 to set up a time. We are available for appointments noon-4 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday with staff onsite from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week. The animal shelter is located across from the Public Works Department off the Sterling Highway.
