The Humane League of Lancaster County is an independent, non-profit organization that is recognized as the area's leader in animal welfare. Our dedicated staff and volunteers provide compassion and care to nearly 11,000 animals each year through a variety of services. Our unique foster care program allows to us save even more lives while our partnerships with other rescues and shelters help us place an ever increasing number of animals in permanent and loving homes. We value our volunteers, members, and supporters as important contributors to the work that we do. Through working together, we can achieve our vision of creating a humane community where all animals are protected and wanted.

Lost and Found

The Humane League of Lancaster works hard to reunite lost pets with their owners. Whether you have lost a pet or found a stray animal, your quick action is the key to a happy ending in which the pet is returned safe and sound to their family.
 
If you have lost your pet, please contact the shelter immediately at (717) 393-6551 to file a lost report or fill out the online form below. We also strongly urge you to come into the shelter while your dog is missing in order to walk through our kennels and verify for yourself that your dog has not been brought into our facility.
 
If you have found a stray animal, please contact the shelter at (717) 393-6551 to fill out a found report or submit the online form below. If you are unable to care for the animal until an owner is found and you need to bring the animal to the Humane League, please note that we are only able to accept stray animals from townships and boroughs who have contracted with us to provide animal control services. * If you have found an animal in an area that has chosen not to contract with the HLLC to provide housing and care for its stray animals, you will need to contact the specific borough or municipality in which the animal was found. Please click here for a listing of townships and boroughs who have chosen not to contract with the Humane League for animal control services. You may bring a stray animal to the shelter during the designated times posted below.

*We do receive payments from local municipalities who contract with us for animal control.
