Owner Release

The Animal Control Department does allow a resident of the City of Lake Worth to release an animal to the Animal Control Department. An animal that is released to the City cannot have bitten a person or other animal causing bodily injury in the past 10 days. By releasing an animal to the Animal Control Officer the owner is giving the City of Lake Worth the permission to adopt, foster, or humanly destroy the said animal.

The operate paper work must be filled out and signed by the owner of the animal; and a picture ID and $15.00 surrender fee for each animal is required to release an animal to the Animal Control Officer.
