Jackson County Government Animal Shelter
Our Mission
The Jackson County Animal Shelter is dedicated to providing safe and humane care for stray, unwanted, and abused animals while actively protecting the health and safety of our community. We are passionate about educating the public on responsible pet ownership and creating successful, life-long bonds between animals and their new families.
Providing a Fresh Start
Serving Jackson County, we operate as a vital community resource by managing animal control and providing shelter for those in need of a second chance. Our dedicated team works daily to ensure every pet receives the support they deserve, whether they are waiting for their forever home or needing help returning to their owners.
Comprehensive Care for Your New Best Friend
When you choose to adopt from us, you can feel confident knowing your new companion is well-prepared for their transition home. Every adoptable pet is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and treated for fleas and mange. Additionally, all animals are spayed or neutered prior to adoption, with cats receiving a FeLV/Fiv combo test and dogs receiving a heartworm test.
Finding Your Perfect Match
Adoption is a joyful partnership, and we are here to help you find the right companion to complete your household. We encourage you to bring your family members and current pets for a meet and greet to ensure a happy, harmonious integration into your home. By completing our adoption form prior to your visit, you help us streamline the process so you can focus on the excitement of meeting your future pet.
