office is located in the Village Center Building - close to Paper Scissor on the Rock and next to Village Cycles. With the help of a generous donor, we have moved into this sweet facility and have furnished it with treasures from the Take It Or Leave It, the Thrift Shop, and offerings from big-hearted Lopezians. There are lots of pet supplies available for a small donation, as well as kitchen towels ($10 donation) and tote bags ($15 donation) crafted for LAPS by “Sally by the Sea”. If you wish to purchase an item, simply send an email found on the "Contact Us" page and we'll get in touch with you.

VISITORS AND PART-TIME RESIDENTS
All dogs in San Juan County must be under the control of their owners/caregivers; dogs running loose are not allowed. Please make sure your dog, or any dog in your care, has a LOCAL PHONE NUMBER/I.D. worn on his or her collar so the pet can be re-united with the owner as soon as possible should he or she become separated from their owner. (This I.D. can be as simple as use of marker pen on adhesive tape on pet's collar.)
If dog becomes lost, immediately call Sheriff's Dispatch (360-378-4151), put up posters, let Lopez Animal Protection Society know (360-298-WAGS (9247) and continue searching.
