Wilbur Lancaster, Animal Control OfficerCenterville Police Department
102 E Swan St, Centerville, TN, United States, Tennessee
(931) 729-5146
The Town of Centerville maintains an animal shelter at the end of Industrial Drive. Wilbur Lancaster is the police department's Animal Control officer.
The shelter typically manages a few dogs and cats for their temporary stay until owners retrieve them or the animals are adopted out. A veterinarian must examine all animals for adoption, worm them, give them shots, and neuter them if necessary. Lancaster urges adopting people to have the animals micro-chipped so it's easy to locate the owner if the animal becomes lost. The cost of adopting an animal depends on the types of services required to prepare the animal for adoption.
Lancaster With Rescued & Adopted PuppyUnfortunately, many animals are abandoned by their owners, so the city must care for them. When owners mistreat their animals by failing to provide proper food and shelter, the animal control officer will generally give the owner a warning. Dog owners must not allow their animals to roam at large, or Lancaster will catch the dog and place them in the animal shelter. In severe cases, Lancaster will confiscate the animal and issue a citation to the owner, who must appear before the city judge to face charges of animal cruelty and related crimes.
Lancaster attempts to get all unclaimed animals adopted. For those who are too old or ill for adoption, he takes them to the Horse Plus Humane Society at Kimmons near the Lewis/Hickman County line on Hwy 48. While the Centerville Animal Shelter is a no-kill facility, Horse Plus has the needed animal health staff to care for sick animals and euthanize those who cannot recover.

The Centerville Board of Mayor and Aldermen unanimously approved the purchase of a new sanitation truck at the July 9 meeting in City Hall.
