Animal Control

The primary function and intent of the City of Lynn Haven Animal Control is to provide protection for the health, safety and welfare of the public within the city limits, by controlling the animal population and by establishing uniform rules for the control and eradication of rabies.

In addition, Lynn Haven Animal Control strives to:

  1. Educate the public about responsible pet care and ownership.
  2. Promote spaying and neutering of pets to aid in reducing the stray population.
  3. Work, in conjunction with law enforcement, to investigate and prosecute animal cruelty cases.
  4. Find responsible forever homes for adoptable stray animals.

Lynn Haven citizens are known for their generosity and love for our animal population, often asking what they can donate to help our shelter. Dog and cat food, blankets, sheets and towels, toys, pet bottles and pet formula, dog and cat beds, and monetary donations are always welcomed.

We are very excited about the renovations underway at the animal control facility. The renovations will allow us to house more animals and offer a more secure and modern environment, better suited to not only take care of our animals, but to fulfill the increasing expectations of our citizens regarding the humane and compassionate treatment of animals. We appreciate your support!
