At Brian Joseph Studios we work with several non-profit organizations throughout Lee and Collier County. As our entire staff consists of animal lovers and owners, one organization we enjoy dedicating our time to is the Lee County Domestic Animal Service.
This organization is a government run, domestic stray animal control agency, which is tax-funded. They provide aid to our entire community by:
- Adoption of unwanted, neglected, and abused animals into loving, permanent homes.
- Reuniting lost and missing pets with their rightful owners.
- Ensuring public health and safety.
- Providing the community with education on responsible pet ownerships and compliance of local ordinances and State Statutes relating to animals.
- Reducing of pet overpopulation through non-lethal humane methods.
- Strengthening the human-animal bond to help reduce the amount of animals surrendered to overcrowded shelters.
