Until further notice, LHS is unable to take in animals unless it is an emergency situation. Stray animals (that are not injured or in immediate danger) and non-emergent owner surrenders will not be accepted at this time. We are preparing for the possibility that we will need to cease operations as many establishments have already.
Don’t forget your pets as you continue to prepare! “Identify another person in your household who is willing and able to care for your pet in your home should you contract COVID-19. Make sure you have an emergency kit prepared, with at least two weeks’ worth of your pet’s food and any needed medications. Usually we think about emergency kits like this in terms of what might be needed for an evacuation, but it’s also good to have one prepared in the case of quarantine or self-isolation when you cannot leave your home.”
