Our Mission
The mission of Animal Protection Services is to support responsible ownership of
domestic animals; to manage care for missing, abused and stray animals; to
encourage compliance through education, programs, resources and enforcement;
to help assure public health and safety for the community and animals
About the Shelter
The City of Lovington Animal Shelter has been matching loving furry companions to
pet parents and families for years. Our objective is to engage people to assist in
creating an environment of compassion for our shelter animals through adoption,
education, spay/neuter, and positive community outreach.
Our Mission
Saving one paw at a time
Our Vision
To see all healthy animals make it out of the shelter alive, through building community programs and partnerships across the nation. Our goal is to be considered a no-kill shelter with 90% of cats and dogs coming into the shelter being saved.
2023 Live Release Rate for Lovington Shelter is 74%
What does this mean?
Live release rate measures activity related to the impact of animals admitted and the number of Live Outcomes.
How to we achieve our goal?
When Live Outcomes are increased and strategies are used to decrease intake, the live release rate goes up.
