The Shelby County Animal Shelter is the animal shelter for Shelby County Kentucky run by Shelby County Fiscal Court. We are the enforcer of state and county ordinances and we do all the abuse cases in the county. We take in all unwanted animals in our county by owners and running loose. We do temperament testing. We aggressively pursue solid adoptions and work with rescue groups, both purebred groups and generic.About Our Shelter:
The Shelby County Animal Shelter is located at 266 Kentucky Street, Shelbyville, KY, 40065.We are an open admissions animal shelter for Shelby County. We are governed by the Shelby County Fiscal Court and operated by Shelby County tax dollars. We accept all unwanted and stray animals in our county. We also perfom all neglect and abuse investigations for Shelby County.
The animals at our shelter are from a random source. We try hard to ensure the animals adopted from our shelter are healthy and free of undesirable temperments. We aggressively pursue solid adoptions and work with rescue groups, both purebred groups and generic. We do not charge a pull fee for reputable rescue groups. Receiving rescues will be responsible for all vetting and transport of the animal(s) being pulled.
We are working towards making Shelby County a no-kill county. In order to achieve this goal, Shelby County No Kill Mission is working with Shelby County Animal Shelter. The first step to achieving our no-kill goal is to have all animals at Shelby County Animal Shelter vetted and spayed/neutered. By doing this, the chances of adoptions and rescues increase significantly. This also will prevent accidental or unwanted litters of animals in the future.
Please help Shelby County STAY a no-kill county! Please consider donating/sponsoring an animal at the Shelby County Animal Shelter. Click on the link below to contribute to this worthy cause!
