The primary function of the Lancaster county animal control is to assist the Lancaster county residents in resolving problems with stray or unrestrained animals. To accomplish this goal, we can remove the animals or talk with owners and advise them of restraint law and work with them to secure animals. If this approach does not work, the owner of animal may be issued a citation to appear in court for not restraining animal. All animal control officers are sworn law enforcement officers, and can issue citations for violations of any county or state law regarding animals.

Lancaster County Animal Shelter

Lancaster Co. animal control also operates the Lancaster County Animal Shelter. Animals can be viewed for adoption or reclaimed by owners at the shelter. Shelter hours are:

Monday-Friday 8 am-5pm
Saturday 8 am-12 noon
Closed Sundays & Holidays


Fees

There is a reclaim fee of 25.00 per animal 1st offense, $50.00 for 2nd offense. There is a $3.00/day charge for each day animal is at shelter. The adoption fee is $10.00 plus a $40.00 sterilization deposit. Adopter must sign a contract to have animal sterilized by certain date. Adopter is responsible for all veterinarian bills. Upon bringing receipt from vet., a check for the $40.00 deposit will be issued by the county treasurer.

Litter Control

The Lancaster County animal control officers serve as litter control officers also. We investigate litter complaints and can issue citations for littering. Minimum fine for littering is $424.00 plus community service.
