Newton County Animal Control

Connecting Hearts and Homes

At Newton County Animal Services, our mission is to provide care for animals in need while working tirelessly to find every adoptable pet a permanent, responsible, and loving home. We believe every animal deserves a second chance at happiness.

Serving Our Community

Located in Covington, we serve as a vital resource for our community by providing shelter, field services, and protective care for domestic animals and livestock. We are dedicated to maintaining public safety and promoting responsible pet ownership throughout Newton County.

Our Care Philosophy

Our shelter operates as a dedicated hub for animal welfare, offering a range of essential services including medical care, spay/neuter surgeries in our in-house suite, microchipping, and vaccinations. Our professional staff and field officers work hard to ensure that every animal under our care receives the medical attention and support they need while they await their forever families.

Your Partner in Adoption

Adoption is a joyful commitment, and we are here to help you find the perfect companion to enrich your life. We strive to provide transparent information about our animals so that you can make an informed choice that leads to a successful, lifelong partnership. Whether you are looking for a playful dog, a sweet cat, or another companion, our team is ready to guide you through the process.
