Animal Control

Domestic Animal Control

Animal control in Fort Erie is a function of the Lincoln County Humane Society (LCHS). The Lincoln County Humane Society is a locally recognized authority on animal welfare issues and has strived to make a measurable difference in the lives of animals since 1881. The LCHS is an integral part of the community, promoting mutually beneficial human-animal interactions; they are viewed as a trusted and desirable organization for volunteerism and support. 
In the Niagara Region, they have been providing Animal Care and Control Services to the local and surrounding communities for over 50 years. Their goal is to build awareness of the essential role of animals in our lives and to promote humane and respectful treatment of all animals while strengthening the human-animal bond. The LCHS is committed to assisting animals in need, including homeless cats, dogs, and other companion animals that are subjected to cruelty or neglect.  All questions regarding adoption, strays, dog bites, and dog licenses should be directed to the Lincoln County Humane Society.
