Lea County Humane Society (LCHS) is a non-profit organization affiliated with the Humane Society of the United States. For decades, the Lea County Humane Society has been comprised of a group of volunteers working for the wellbeing of all animals in Lea County, New Mexico. We work with the Adoption centers in Hobbs, NM and Lovington, NM to facilitate adoptions, provision of essentials and enrichment for sheltered animals, animal socialization, and assistance in veterinary care. A major focus of our resources is the transportation of stray, unwanted, and abandoned animals to adoption centers nationwide and internationally. In addition, we subsidize spay, neuter, and vaccination services. LCHS works to inform the public, through educational programs, about the ramifications of animal cruelty, the consequences of neglect, the benefits of spaying and neutering, and proper care for all animals in Lea County.
