The Lancaster Humane Society is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization, organized and incorporated in June of 1984. In 1994 we built and later opened door of our new shelter.
Lancaster Humane Society strives to live up to our motto "We are small, But we care BIG! ". LHS operates its facility as a no-kill animal shelter, believing that even life of companion animals is special and should no be just thrown away. There are always other options. Exception to no-kill policy must be made when the animal is suffering from terminal illness or is viscous beyond rehabilitation.
