ANIMAL PROTECTION SERVICES

The City of Lovington Animal Protection Services is comprised of 1 Supervisor and
2 Officers who investigate and respond to vicious or stary animals, nuisance
complaints, injured or ill animals, reports of cruelty or neglect, as well as other
animal relate issues. They provide these actions through enhancing public
awareness and enforcement action, with the goal being that of compliance by our citizens.
In early 2011, the city purchased the Lovington Veterinary Clinic located on the
Lovington Highway. This facility not only allows our Officer’s to house lost or
abandoned animals, but also serves our community as a place to adopt out these
animals. The Animal Shelter Facility overall operations including daily cleaning,
feeding, health, enrichment, and maintenance are provided by our Officers, staff
when allowable, as well as volunteers. Our Officers work diligently to find owners
of lost dogs, rehome unclaimed dogs and network unclaimed and unwanted
animals to rescue partners.
Individuals interested in volunteering, fostering, participating in our low cost spay
neuter program should contact one of our Animal Protection Officers or shelter
staff. Please check out our Facebook page.
