Lamar County Animal Services
Our Mission
The Lamar County Animal Shelter is dedicated to reducing the homeless animal population through encouraged sterilization, providing education, and resources on responsible pet ownership. We are committed to protecting public safety and ensuring the humane treatment of all animals. Above all, we strive to prevent senseless animal abuse and neglect, promoting a community where every animal is valued and cared for.
Adoption Policy
Health and Condition: LCAS ensures that animals are in good health at the time of adoption but cannot guarantee their health post-adoption. Adopters assume responsibility for any future health issues.
Adopter's Agreement: Adopters must comply with all contract terms. Non-compliance allows LCAS to repossess the animal without a refund.
Health and Temperament Waivers: Adopters acknowledge potential zoonotic diseases and behavioral uncertainties. LCAS does not guarantee the animal's health or behavior outside the facility.
Acclimation: Adopters should prepare the animal for its new home by allowing adequate adjustment time and following specific acclimation methods for dogs and cats.
Adoption Fee: A non-refundable fee of $75.00 is required, covering veterinary care, housing, and food expenses. Additional fees may apply for spay/neuter surgery, rabies vaccination, and microchipping.
Sterilization: All animals must be sterilized before LCAS relinquishes custody, either by LCAS or through a written agreement with the adopter.
Animal Care: Adopters must ensure the animal's health and welfare, treating it as a companion or family member.
Prohibition of Animal Fighting: Adopters must not use the animal for fighting or any aggressive sports.
Transfer and Liability: LCAS reserves the right to refuse owner surrender post-adoption. Adopters assume full responsibility for the animal and indemnify LCAS from any liability.
Contract Enforcement: The contract is legally binding. Breach of contract requires the adopter to relinquish the animal to LCAS without entitlement to a refund.
