How can you help?
Please consider bringing us a truckload (or 6!)of "deco bark" from Rexius or "wood chips" from Lane Forest Products.
Thank you for your support!

I might be the cutest black lab puppy you've ever seen! I was found at the Millrace with bloody wounds on my head. The veterinary staff here later extracted a BB pellet from my nose - ouch! It also seems like some wounds may be from tangling with a nutria.
I am such a silly, gooft puppy. Like any puppy I need lots of exercise and training. I love people so much I give lots of kisses and tend to jump up when I am excited. I'm just a happy guy! Give me a few months of training and I'll make a great best friend for you!I

Animals Need Assistance for Surgeries
Lane County Animal Services is asking for community donations to support necessary surgeries for two abused dogs.
 Maya and Bobby both have multiple fratures that require immediate, extensive surgery. The medical expense is expected to be approximately $12,000.
In December, LCAS became involved in an investigation led by Eugene Police Dept. when a man allegedly abused a puppy. LCAS found the puppy had several broken bones that had been broken over a period of time.
The puppy's owner spent the night in jail and LCAS discovered he most likely had another
dog in his care. According to the Lane County Jail's Custody Referee, the owner's Conditions of Release from jail stated no contact or caring of animals until trial.
LCAS Senior Officer Bernie Perkins went to the owner's location and discovered a second dog, which also suffered from broken bones.
 LCAS is seeking community donations to support the immediate and long-term care these dogs will need. We are moving forward with necessary surgeries hoping the community will help us cover these costs.
In cases like these where abuse is suspected, the owner could be ordered to pay for the costs of the medial care. If we are able to recoup these medical costs, we will allocate the funds towards covering the medical care of other  abused or neglected animals.
How To Donate:
- Send a check to LCAS 3970 West 1st Ave, Eugene OR 97402 and put Abuse Case in the memo field.
- Call our office at 541-682-3646 Option 5 to make a credit card contribution by phone.
- Donate online and send an email to lcas@co.lane.or.us with Abuse Case in the subject field.
- Stop by the shelter to make a contribution in person.
Maya and Bobby are not available for adoption pending the outcome of the trial.
LCAS would like to thank all of the caring citizens who's contributions make it possible for us to do the life saving work needed to save those like Maya and Bobby.

Animal Services is doing everything within our resources to save all of the adoptable and treatable animals that come to our shelter. Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to treat them all. Many of the animals that come into the shelter have special needs. For some it is an injury or illness, while others have behavior issues that need to be worked on. Animal Services is looking for that special adopter that has the knowledge and resources to save the life of just one special needs animals.
Take a look at our current special needs animals and let us know if you are that special adopter or foster home.
