Adopting is Caring: The Joy of Giving a Forever Home

The Jackson County Animal Shelter is dedicated to finding forever homes for our furry friends. We believe that every animal deserves love, care, and companionship. By adopting from us, you're not only changing the life of an animal in need but also opening up space for another animal to be saved.

Our shelter is home to a diverse range of animals, from playful kittens to gentle giants. Each one has its unique personality, and we're confident that there's an animal out there waiting just for you. Whether you're looking for a cuddly companion or a loyal friend, we've got you covered.

By adopting from us, you'll not only be giving a loving home to an animal in need but also gaining a lifelong companion. Our animals are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped before adoption, ensuring they're healthy and ready for their new life with you.

Spaying/Neutering: The Importance of Preventing Pet Overpopulation

The Jackson County Animal Shelter is committed to reducing pet overpopulation through our spay/neuter program. By spaying or neutering your pet, you're not only preventing unwanted litters but also reducing the risk of certain health issues and cancers.

In addition to the health benefits, spaying/neutering also helps reduce nuisance behaviors like spraying, roaming, and aggression. It's a crucial step in ensuring the well-being of our pets and communities.

We offer low-cost spay/neuter services for pet owners who cannot afford the procedure elsewhere. Contact us to learn more about our program and schedule an appointment today.
