McCracken County Animal Shelter

The McCracken County Animal Shelter located in Paducah, KY serves the city of Paducah and McCracken County. We are trying to save as many dogs and cats as possible and have a large population of dogs. We provide the vaccines and spay/neuter prior to adoption. The shelter is very rescue friendly as rescues are important in our efforts to save the animals and find them permanent homes. Fostering is always an option in order to help find the animals permanent homes. Fostering also provides the animals with more socialization than can be given at a large shelter and is so important
