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.
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.
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.
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.
We invite you to be a part of our mission by visiting our adoption page to meet your next family member or by learning more about our volunteer and donation opportunities. Whether you are looking to adopt or simply want to support our shelter’s work, we welcome you to reach out to us at our Nicholasville facility or visit our website to explore how you can get involved.
