Monroe County Animal Shelter
Our Mission
The Monroe County Animal Shelter is dedicated to finding homes for as many abandoned animals as possible, serving as a compassionate bridge between pets in need and their future families.
Our History and Purpose
Established in 1998, our department was created to help manage the needs of stray and homeless animals in our community. We work closely with animal control and local health departments to ensure our city remains a safe and welcoming environment for both residents and their four-legged companions.
How We Care
Located at 2265 Highway 47 South, our shelter serves as a dedicated facility for animals in Monroe County. Our team focuses on providing essential care, including initial vaccinations and worming, while ensuring every adopted animal is spayed or neutered in compliance with state law. We are committed to transparency and provide resources to our adopters to help make the transition into a new home as smooth as possible.
Your Role in Our Success
When you choose to adopt, you are embarking on a joyful partnership that gives a deserving animal a second chance at happiness. We invite you to visit our facility, meet our residents, and speak with our staff about finding the right match for your lifestyle. Your decision to adopt directly impacts the lives of animals in our care and helps us continue our mission within the community.
