Jessamine County Animal Care & Control

Our Mission

At Jessamine County Animal Care & Control, we are a dedicated group of professionals striving to safeguard the health of our residents, whether they have two legs or four. We aim to provide compassionate care for the animals in our charge while working to ensure they find the safe, permanent homes they deserve.

Serving Our Community

Established by the Jessamine County Fiscal Court, our department serves as a vital resource for the animals and people of our county. We believe that by providing humane care and promoting responsible pet ownership, we can create a safer, healthier environment for everyone in Jessamine County.

How We Care

Our shelter operates with a team of motivated staff, including certified veterinary technicians and experienced animal control officers, all working toward a common goal of animal welfare. We rely heavily on the generous support of local residents and our passionate network of volunteers to provide the medical care, socialization, and enrichment our animals need while they wait for their forever families.

Building Furry Friendships

We believe that adopting a new pet is the beginning of a beautiful partnership. Our team takes great care in matching each animal with the right family, and we encourage you to fill out an application so we can help you find a companion that fits your lifestyle perfectly. When you adopt from us, you are not just getting a new furry family member; you are giving a deserving animal a fresh start.
