Many thanks to the staffer who helped us dispose of our dog,King. Her kindness helped soothe our pain as King choked to death while we were not home. Very professional and courteous,Thank you for your support!

The staff was friendly except for one if the ladies who's tone was not friendly because we was unaware that there was no animals in the barn and she said in a unfriendly tone your not supposed to be in that area and we said we was unaware we thought it was animals in there and we didn't see a sign so we apologize and another lady said no worries. Other than that the facility is clean the animals is well maintained. Great job

Called the pound about 2 stray dogs and waited 4 and half hours for no one to show up. Whats the funny part the dispatcher wasn't doing anything for a good hour but didn't come but went to a sick cat after I've I've waiting for 3 hours at that time?!?! TWO stray dogs TWO skin to the bones but no one showed up!!!!!!! It's ridiculous!

Highly recommend adopting from Lancaster! My family and I have adopted several animals from the Lancaster shelter and they are always kind and helpful. I saw this sweet kitten girl on the website and made an appointment for the same day. At the shelter, they were very friendly and informative and after spending some time with the kitten and I decided to adopt her! Marvin from the staff was very efficient and helped get all the paperwork done quickly. I previously had a terrible experience at the Palmdale shelter so it was greatly appreciated how professional and friendly the staff at Lancaster are. Thanks to Marvin and the whole staff for my new little girl!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Did they give any info when you called the animal control office.

How do they treat the animals there?

Camilo Ventura | Sep 29, 2021
Semi Sweet | Sep 29, 2021

From what I have seen they treat them very well and the facilities were always very clean, inside the kennels and throughout the compound. I found it very interesting that 2, 2 1/2 years ago I adopted a dog and it cost me $300.00; this time it cost $60.00. Major price drop or a fire sale...... And I'd like to mention, (as anyone and everybody else failed to inform me when I bought Barthomew that if you're over 60 years old you get $20.00 off the license fee and if the animal that you're adopting has been at the shelter longer than 10 days you get a discount for that also. And hey, every little bit helps, but again nobody at the shelter said anything about this to me and I don't take kindly to being taken advantage of, especially so blatantly. It's bad enough being 60. The "Golden Years' Harrumph ... My backside. 🤭 Anyway I wish you a happy experience and hope you find what t want 😼 🐩🐖🐴🐔🐓🐔🐄 I adopted a pot belly pig, and I'm still looking for a very small lap dog.

How long do they keep dogs that are found

Christine Servin | Aug 26, 2018
Joyce Mbela | Aug 26, 2018

It depends. If a dog came in as a stray dog, with no tags or micro chip, then the dog is help for 4 days, and can be adopted or rescued by the 5th day if no one claimed the dog But if the dog came in with tags, microchip, or a phone number and name of the owner by the collar, then this dog is held for the owner for 10 days. Owner can come to claim the dog before the ten days are over. If not the dog can be adopted by the end of the 10th day.

Where can I find the cats photos? I am looking for my grand daughters cat. The cat has a chip. Lost in Carefree Ct, Lancaster April 3, 2018 around 8 to 9 pm.
