About this shelter

Lafayette County Animal Shelter in Oxford, MS

Lafayette County Animal Shelter is a government-funded, open-admission shelter located in Oxford, Mississippi, about 40 miles northwest of Olive Branch. Operated by the Lafayette County Humane Society under contract with Lafayette County, LCAS rescues, cares for, and rehomes lost and homeless dogs and cats while promoting responsible pet ownership through spay/neuter advocacy, education, and outreach. Adoption fees of $125 include spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, and a microchip, and the shelter also offers a foster-to-adopt program for pets too young for surgery at adoption. The shelter welcomes visitors Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM and relies on volunteers and foster homes to support its mission of finding a safe, loving home for every animal in the community.
