Jefferson County Animal Control

If you would like to adopt an animal and are coming from a long distance we will hold it until you get here but otherwise we can not hold animals for days. It is best to call and let the facility know that you are on your way and what time they can expect you. Please email jeffcoac@att.net , for more info!! Our website is updated as often as possible. If you are looking for something special please call and ask we may have just what you are looking for and haven't put the picture up yet. We are finding many owner surrenders are because people can't not afford to feed these animals anymore or decided they don't want to take the time for them. There is absolutely nothing wrong with these animals. We do not adopt out aggressive animals. When you adopt an animal be sure you can make a committment to it for it's lifetime. Being put in an Animal Control is very tramatic for these animals. Most are so scared they just shake for the first 24 hrs. Jefferson County Animal Control needs your help!! Our facility has received more and more animals each year. In the past 12 months more than 3000 dogs, cats, and other animals have arrived at this facility. Most of these animals are young, healthy, friendly pets waiting for a new home. Please take a look at our adoptable pets. If you see an animal you are interested in PLEASE DO NOT WAIT TO CALL. Our facility fills up very fast and we can not keep them very long. If you wait a day or two while you are thinking about the animal, it may be gone. Let us know that you are considering the animal so we try and keep it alittle longer. If you have lost your pet, please do not hesitate to come into the facility and/or call to see if your pet may be there. It's always a good idea to check everyday if possible.
