Boyd County Animal Control and Shelter

Our Mission

The Boyd County Animal Control and Shelter is dedicated to providing essential services that safeguard public health and safety while ensuring the humane care and protection of our community’s animals.

Who We Are

Established by the Boyd County Fiscal Court, our organization serves as a pillar for animal welfare in our region. We believe in the importance of responsible pet ownership and strive to keep both our citizens and their furry companions safe, informed, and well-supported.

Our Commitment to Care

We work hard to provide a safe, nurturing environment for every animal in our charge. Beyond our daily operations, we are deeply committed to animal health and actively promote spay and neuter programs to improve the long-term well-being of our local pet population.
