Fayette County Animal Shelter
Official page of FCAC. We take pride in our shelter. Our dedicated Officers care for the stray pets in our county and fight crime against animals.
It is our mission to build a community where our citizens all have the ability and tools they need to be responsible pet owners, and animals are a valued and respected part of our society.
We can achieve that goal through accountability, cooperation, safety, and communication.
We imagine a community where every animal has a loving home, and no longer need the support of rescue groups and shelters.
"It's not about animal rights, it's about human responsibility"....
Fayette County Animal Control is under new leadership.
We have a new approach to delivering animal care and control services that reflect the delicate balance that exists between animal welfare and control/enforcement.
It is our goal to reduce the dangers and nuisances to our citizens caused by irresponsible pet owners, while protecting pets from abuse, neglect, and homelessness. We will accomplish this through aggressive enforcement of animal ordinances and laws, and fastidious care and concern for the homeless animals under our care.
We are staffed by 5 dedicated, professional, and enthusiastic full time staff, and one part time kennel technician.
We maintain a strong relationship with the Fayette Humane Society and various rescue and animal welfare organizations in our area. We can't do it alone.
We serve all of Fayette County and its municipalities to pick up stray animals, investigate abuse and neglect, enforce animals laws and ordinances, and assist with dangerous animal situations. We also operate the county's only animal shelter, caring for over 50 stray pets a day, and working to find them caring, responsible new homes after their owners have abandoned them with us.
Watch for new volunteer opportunities and programs on the horizon!

Poor, sweet, handsome Miles. He desperately wants a home for Christmas. He keeps on waiting and waiting but let's face it, it's tough to get into the holiday cheer when you're cooped up in a kennel all day. Miles simply can't wait any longer for someone to come along and change that for him. How long until the right person opens their home and most importantly, their heart, to this lovable lug β€πΆπ #alliwantforchristmasisyou #bahumbug #pibblesofig #fortheloveofapitbull #adoptdontshop

Bailey is looking for another chance at a new home. This is her second time back at the shelter and by no fault of her own. She is a sweet little girl that came in months ago with her brother as a stray. Her brother found his forever family and she thought she did too, but due to allergies she was brought back and is left waiting once again. Spayed, up to date on shots and FIV negative, she's ready to go, all she needs is for the right person to walk in and say, "That's the one." #stillwaitingforyou #adoptdontshop #adoptmerightmeow

It's safe to say this girl has been through a lot. Unsocialized upon arrival (with her sisters Sable and Sierra), abandoned, underweight and scared, Sarina has pulled through a lot of unfortunate events in her life. Still timid of the leash, but eager to be loved and assured that she matters and for once, is safe. She searches for attention and a caring hand and just wants to be given a chance. Sable was adopted and now Sarina awaits the day when she to can learn what its like to live under a roof with a bed and a family that loves her unconditionally #adoptlove #shelterdogsofinstagram #adoptdontshop

If you've been looking for a companion to cuddle with you and stay by your side then look no further cause the search will be done once you meet sweet Sierra. This young lab mix is about as loving as any dog could be. She will stay near you once you're in sight and she couldn't he happier anywhere else. This girl truly deserves a forever home π‘ πΆπΎ#adoptdontshop #poundpuppies #shelterdogsofinstagram #adoptlove

Come on up to the shelter and say hello to this handsome fellow. Scooter is approximately 1 year old and heartworm negative. If you enjoy hiking, going on long walks or the occasional jog, this pup is the perfect athletic companion to have by your side. Not much of a hiker and maybe more of a family person? No worries there, cause this guy would also be great with an energetic and fast paced family! If you have a dog already he would do best with one that has a high energy level as well so they can help ware each other out! Don't you think this pup deserves a chance? We sure do #adoptdontshop #pibblepride #pittiesofinstagram

*ADOPTED* Dasha is a fighter, plain and simple. Found on the side of a busy road, she came to us very tiny and extremely malnourished. It took a lot of work and dedication to get her to a healthier state and there was even a time when we weren't sure if she was going to pull through, but we didn't give up hope and thankfully neither did she because now we get to see her show off her quirky little personality the moment we see her. We would love for someone else to experience the playful and happy disposition she expresses though. We believe Dasha didn't fight for nothing, so now its time to prove it to her, it's time she found her forever family. Can you help this sweetheart out? #daringdasha #adoptrightmeow #adoptdontshop #kittensofinstagram
