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.

Animals can be viewed for adoption or reclaimed by owners at the shelter. Shelter hours
