Pasco County Animal Services is more than a dog-catching operation. This government agency shelters unwanted, abandoned and impounded animals. It also enforces all county animal ordinances. In addition, it places a strong focus on education to help residents become responsible pet owners. The shelter has its own adoption center and provides humane traps for the safe capture of stray dogs and cats. Emergency service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
With its bright murals and warm colors, the Pasco County Senior Service Center in Land O' Lakes invites area seniors age 60 and over in for meals and company five days a week. The elderly nutrition program is sponsored by Pasco County with funding from Florida's Department of Elder Affairs. The center also serves as the staging site for Central Pasco's Meals on Wheels program. Participation requirements vary for both programs.
