Here’s How Lubbock Animal Services Needs Your Help with Donations

Lubbock Animal Services (LAS) is asking for help from you, the public, in making sure the puppies and kittens are all taken care of and have plenty of reading material to pass the time.

That's right, LAS is seeking donated newspapers to help daily operations at the kennels. I wonder if dogs prefer the funnies section more than cats...

How to Help Lubbock Animal Services

If you are someone who still reads the newspaper, then make sure you save the old editions! Old newspaper in good condition can be donated to either of these two locations: 3323 SE Loop 289 or Citizens Tower at 1314 Avenue K.

If you have any further questions like drop-off times or if you should leave the crossword puzzle empty for any bored dogs, you can call (806) 775-2057 to contact Lubbock Animal Services directly.

Frequently Asked Questions about LAS

Many citizens have questions about operations, fees, and how dropping off animals works here in Lubbock, so here are the answers to some common questions about Lubbock Animal Services.

If you've found an abandoned cat or dog in Lubbock, you can take it to LAS to have it scanned for a microchip. If you want to get your own pet microchipped, they'll do it for a nominal fee of $5.

Other fees include the standard adoption fee ($30), the reclaim fee ($105), and the owner surrender fee ($50). If you do plan on surrendering an animal, you must call ahead and schedule an appointment. Appointments can be made by calling the same number as listed above: (806) 775-2057.

When it comes to euthanasia fees, those living within the city limits must pay a $25 fee, but for those living outside the city, that fee increases to $80.
