The Lee County Animal Care Trust Fund was established in 2002 to provide specialized care and services to stray domestic animals of Lee County that may be outside of our usual budget constraints. In 2016 we spent almost $100,000 for major surgeries, consultations and medical care outside of the ability of our veterinary staff. Because of the Animal Care Trust Fund and the care that we were able to provide, over 300 animals were reunited with their owners or able to be adopted into loving homes.
