Beginning Oct. 1, the City of Gulf Breeze will utilize the animal services provided by Santa Rosa County.
Since the 1970’s, the city has contracted with Escambia County. The transfer of service is expected to have little or no effect on city residents. The phone numbers to report animal issues in Gulf Breeze will remain the same, 934-5121, during normal business hours and 934-4050 for after-hour animal emergencies. A dedicated animal control officer has been placed in the south end of the county to accommodate citizens.
