It is our mission, as an independent non-profit organization, to work in conjunction with the Lake County Sheriff's Office Animal Services, other local shelters, and animal advocacy groups to enhance the quality of life and shelter living conditions for shelter animals and to improve the prospect of these animals transitioning to a forever home. In working together, we will increase the rate of live release, decrease the shelter animals' length of stay, and provide a more pleasant experience for the animals entrusted to the care of the shelter. ​​ We will realize this goal through charitable fund-raising, community outreach, volunteer and foster recruitment, medical sponsorships, and promotion of adoption. L.E.A.S.H., Inc. encourages compassion, enrichment, and care for shelter animals in our community. ​
