Jessamine County Animal Care & Control
Our Mission
At Jessamine County Animal Care & Control, we are a dedicated team committed to safeguarding the health and well-being of the residents of Jessamine County, whether they are two-legged or four-legged. We strive to provide humane care for every animal in our charge while serving our community through education and responsible animal advocacy.
Who We Are
As a public department established by the Jessamine County Fiscal Court, we bring together a diverse team of certified veterinary technicians, experienced animal control officers, and passionate volunteers. Our work is guided by a commitment to public safety, animal welfare, and the humane treatment of all creatures within our local government jurisdiction.
Our Care Model
We work tirelessly to maintain a high standard of service, relying on the support of local rescue groups and community members to keep our animals healthy and socialized while they await their forever homes. Our facility serves as a safe harbor where we provide necessary medical care, including vaccinations and spay/neuter services, to ensure each animal is ready to join a new family.
Finding Your Perfect Match
Adoption is a joyful milestone, and we believe in thoughtful, responsible matching to ensure every pet finds a permanent, loving home. We provide comprehensive adoption counseling to help you choose a furry friend that perfectly fits your lifestyle, ensuring a lasting and rewarding partnership for both you and your new companion.
