Lincoln County Animal Shelter
Our Mission
Your Lincoln County Animal Shelter is dedicated to enhancing public safety, providing a safe and humane environment for animals, and fostering meaningful connections through responsible pet guardianship.
A Heart for Our Community
As the only animal shelter in Lincoln County, we strive to serve as a model for small, rural communities by offering progressive care and essential pet services. We believe that by providing education and support, we can build a community where pets and their families thrive together.
Our Commitment to Care
We operate as a managed admission shelter, which means we do not euthanize animals to make room for others, nor do we place time limits on their stay. Our dedicated team and volunteers provide an enriching environment, from specialized cat enrichment to training programs for dogs, ensuring every animal feels safe while awaiting their forever home.
Finding Your Perfect Match
We understand that adopting a pet is a life-changing decision, and we are here to support you in finding the perfect fit for your family. Whether you are looking for a playful puppy or a sweet senior cat, our staff is committed to facilitating a joyful, transparent adoption process that ensures long-term success for both you and your new companion.
