Shelter FAQs

The Animal Control Division is committed to the enhancement of responsible pet ownership for all animals. We respond to requests for service regarding dogs and cats running at large, animal neglect and abuse, injured animals and wild animals inside the living areas of a home. Roles We investigate neglect and abuse allegations, investigate and quarantine animals for potential rabies exposure, while also providing adoption services in our shelter. We inspect and license dog and cat boarding and breeding facilities, as well as animal rescue facilities and foster-care homes. We maintain a "lost and found" canine and feline list of animals reported to us. We also operate the Animal Resource Center as a rabies quarantine facility and temporary housing facility for dogs and cats available for rescue and adoption.

Additional adoption info

In order to adopt an animal from Jefferson County Animal Control, you must be at least eighteen years of age. We also require any individual interested in adopting an animal to meet the animal in person, preferably with any other animals currently in the home, to be sure that the animal is the best fit for the new home.

The adoption process takes approximately twenty minutes and consists of meeting the animal, filling out and going over the Adoption Application, and working with the Rescue Coordinator to schedule any needed vetting. In accordance with state laws, all animals adopted from our facility must be spayed or neutered before being released to the new owners. Because of this, not all pets will be able to go home with their adopter on the day of adoption, but generally are in their new home within two to three business days of adoption.

For additional information, please call our office at 636-797-5577.
