Beginning September 12, 2011, the Lumpkin County Animal Shelter will implement a $25.00 per visit fee for owner surrendered animals. The intent of this fee is to cover the cost of medications given to these animals upon intake. Our department charges for other direct services such as adoptions, return to owner, and the Turn Around Program which provides for the spay or neutering of animals. By implementing an intake fee our hope is that it will encourage residents of the county to spay or neuter their animals and help control our pet population.
