We believe that every dog entering our county open admission shelter deserves to be seen and shared. We post (intake) pictures of pets entering our county shelter system and follow their stay in the system from intake until ultimately they are adopted, returned to owner, rescued or euthanized (outcome). Here you will find dogs (and sometimes other county pets) that entered the Palm Beach County
shelter system who are at risk of euthanasia. Pets here that are not claimed by their owner within the hold period (stray dogs are held for 4 days) become property of Palm Beach Animal Care and Control; and may be placed in the adoption or foster program, transferred to a partner organization, or humanely euthanized base on medical and/or behavior evaluations. Although not every dog posted here is in immediate danger, circumstances in an open admission shelter environment can change very quickly! PBC ACC is our only county run open admission / municipal facility. Sadly, Palm Beach Animal Care and Control also works with EXTREMELY limited funding and resources. Therefore this a TEMPORARY place for Palm Beach County's lost, discarded, and neglected pets. They need help today and every day!
