The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office Animal Farm is open to
the public this Sunday, May 22nd from 1 – 3 p.m. Please join us and
visit with the animals. The farm is free of charge; donations are welcome.
The Sheriff’s Office Animal Farm has over 150 animals, most
of which were abandoned, abused or otherwise surrendered by their owners. The
animals at the farm include farm animals like pigs, goats, a steer, horses, a
donkey, turkeys and rabbits. The farm also has a number of more exotic animals
including a lemur, kinkajous, sloths, a family of Patagonian cavies, alpacas,
an Emu, pythons, a bearded dragon, prairie dogs, a skunk and a chameleon.
The farm is a wonderful place where kids and adults alike
can get up close and personal with many animals they would not normally
encounter here in the Florida Keys. It is located underneath the Monroe County
Detention Center, at 5501 College Road on Stock Island. It is open on second
and fourth Sundays from 1 – 3 p.m.
