    The Jackson County Animal Shelter is proud to match families with animal companions.  We strive to help re-home our animals with two goals in mind-- saving lives and helping you find an irreplaceable animal companion.

(Cats Only)  The price includes spay or neuter, a Rabies vaccine, and other routine vaccines/tests.  All pets must be fixed before they can be adopted.  If an animal has arrived to us already spayed/neutered or has a current Rabies vaccination, the adoption fee will be reduced.

    To adopt an animal, you must be at least 18 years old, provide identification, and provide a current physical address.

    All dogs must leave the Shelter on a leash and collar.  If you do not bring these items with you, the Shelter will have a limited supply available for purchase.
