Our Story

The Lake County Animal Shelter was designated as a no-kill shelter in 2017.

A new facility, which is currently under construction, will have the necessary amount of space to temporarily house hundreds of dogs, cats and other pets as they wait for adoption.

Furthering its commitment to remaining a no-kill shelter, the facility will feature an open-air cat porch, a dog viewing site and an area where animals and their potential owners can get to know each other.

The new shelter, to be funded by Lake County’s penny sales tax, will also feature an education room, a surgery room, cat and dog isolation areas and adoption areas.
