Animal Control
Lost or Found Animals in Veneta City Limits
November 1, 2006 marked a change to the City of Veneta's animal control program, when the Lane County Animal Services (LCAS) became the new provider of service. LCAS will only accept Veneta's lost dogs. Should you lose a dog or find a lost dog, contact the city first at 935-2191. The city will try to hold dogs for as long as possible, but lost dogs will not be held at the city beyond 24 hours.
The city no longer has a place to take lost or stray cats. If you find someone's lost kitten, the city will take a lost or found report but are not be able to except the animal. Both Greenhill Humane Society and LCAS will accept cats from individuals if the owner of the pet is the one who delivers it. There is a charge for them to accept cats and possibly a waiting list. Space is an issue, so owners may want to call ahead.
LCAS is located at 3970 West 1st Avenue in Eugene. LCAS's phone number is (541) 682-3645. For additional information on the change in the City's Animal Control Program, contact Sheryl Hackett, (541) 935-2191.
