As of May
1st, Louisville Metro Animal Services will accept the surrendering of pets by
appointment only. This new process is an effort to better serve the public and
its pets. It is a proactive approach to saving animals’ lives. LMAS is not
changing what it takes, just when.
Currently, LMAS accepts pet surrenders, on-the-spot, even if the
shelter is full. The appointment process, called managed intake, will give LMAS
an opportunity to control the revolving door of pets. Last year, 1,960 pets
were surrendered to LMAS, and so far this year, more than 600 pets have been
surrendered.
Any animal determined by LMAS to be stray, sick, injured or
aggressive will be accepted immediately, without an appointment.
The new process will not only reduce overcrowding, it will also
help with pet retention as owners may decide to keep their pets with more time
to think about their decision and explore other options. Managed intake will
also help reduce the length of stay for animals in the shelter and gives staff
more time to make sure adequate resources are available.
Under the new process, owners wanting to surrender their pets will
first fill-out and submit a Pet History Form. The Pet History Form can be
filled-out and submitted at the LMAS Animal Care Center (3705 Manslick Rd.) or
online at www.louisvilleky.gov/animalservices. Once LMAS
has reviewed the form, a staff member will contact the pet owner within two
business days to set an appointment. Owners who surrender their pets will be
charged a $25 impoundment fee to help cover the cost of care for their pet.
For more information call
(502) 473-PETS, stop by the LMAS Animal House Adoption Center at 3516
Newburg Rd. or call (502) 473-PETS. www.louisvilleky.gov/animalservices
