The Humane Society of Lebanon County is the only shelter within Lebanon County.
While we always want to help any animal in need of rehoming, we may not always have available cage space to take in owner surrenders. The shelter gives preference to stray and homeless animals who are brought into the shelter and who have nowhere else to go.
If you must surrender your pet, please call or email the shelter to fill out the required request forms. You will be required to provide a photo ID, pay the surrender fee and must agree to and sign the HSLC’s Surrender Policy. All animals surrendered to HSLC become the immediate property of HSLC.
To offer your pet the best chance of being adopted into a new home, we will ask you to fill out a behavior questionnaire for the animal being surrendered. If you have any of your pet’s previous vet records or medical history, we ask that you bring these as well when you surrender your pet to the shelter. These records will help us better care for your pet while at Humane Society of Lebanon County.
Please note that while the Humane Society of Lebanon County does everything it can to aid all pet owners and pets that come through our doors, we are a very small shelter with limited space available.
We ask you to be patient with the shelter as we try to help all the animals in need in our community.
The fees to surrender an animal at the HSLC are as follows:
- Cats: $60
- Dogs: $100
- Small Critters: $25
