Summary

At the Nov. 10 meeting Jackie Osborne reported the county animal shelter had 60 dogs and 54 cats, warned owners about fall hazards and parasites, and promoted upcoming adoption events and the 'three‑three‑three' rule for pet adjustment.

Jackie Osborne addressed the Nassau County Board of County Commissioners during general public comment on Nov. 10 with an update from the county animal shelter. She reported 60 dogs and 54 cats in shelter care and said "kitten season is almost over." Osborne encouraged residents to adopt and to watch for fall hazards to pets, including antifreeze, rodenticides and toxic plants.

She listed five shelter events scheduled in November and offered practical pet-care advice for the season — including monitoring for fleas and ticks, keeping consistent feeding and walking schedules, and the shelter's "three‑three‑three" rule for new pets (three days to decompress, three weeks to settle into a routine, three months to show full personality). Osborne said staff and volunteers continue outreach and foster efforts and urged residents to contact the shelter about adoptions and volunteer opportunities.
