Lewis County Humane Society

If your dog is missing there are two things you should do right away:

1. Call the Dog Control Officer for your town. Check the Dog Control Officer list for contact information.
2. Call the shelter so we can add the dog to our lost and found list: 315-376-8349

You may also want to call the Moose radio station to have them to ask their listeners to be on alert : 315-376-7500

LEWIS COUNTY/LOCAL TOWNS (DOGS ONLY):

For your safety and the safety of the dog, please call your local dog control officer and they will bring it to the shelter.  Do not pick it up and bring it to the Shelter, it must be brought in by the proper Dog Control officer.

We cannot accept dogs that are not brought in by a dog control officer without a surrender fee.

These contracts do not include cats or other small companion animals.  Only the Fort Drum contract includes them.

FORT DRUM CUSTOMERS (INCLUDES DOGS/CATS/AND SMALL COMPANION ANIMALS):

Our shelter has the contract with Fort Drum for Animal Control, and services all of Fort Drum.  If you have a stray animal, please follow the procedures below:

• First call the non-emergency MP phone at 315-772-2677.  The MPs will come and check the animal for a chip.
• If no chip, the MPs should call Public Works Animal Control to pick up the animal.  If they do not, you will need to put in a service order to have the animal picked up.
•  You can call the service desk at 315-772-3791, or use the Army Maintenance app (ArMa) at https://www.armymaintenance.com. Once logged in, select Maintenance Support, scroll down to the bottom and select “Show More," Select Animal Control, fill out information & submit.

What happens then?  Animal Control will come and collect the animal, and will in-turn call us, and we pick the animal up from them.  We will post on social media for 5 days trying to find the owner.  If not claimed, the animal will get vetted (shots & fixed) and be placed for adoption. We are a No Kill facility!

Fort Drum stray animals cannot be surrendered directly to our shelter, we must follow our contract.  Thank you! 

Remember, for safety's sake, if it is not your dog leave it and call a dog control officer.

Always call ahead (315-376-8349), to make an appointment and see if there is space available before bringing your animal to the shelter. Thank you!
