Owned & Operated by Jasper County Government.
We're not labeled as a "no-kill" shelter. However, saving as many lives as possible is always OUR GOAL!!

Jasper County Animal Shelter & Control was founded in November of 1998. Our shelter organization is operated & funded by Jasper County in the state of Indiana. At this time we are not a no-kill shelter/organization due to not having the necessary space. Thus, we do perform humane euthanasia when necessary. We strive to ensure that every adoptable animal that comes to us has as much opportunity as possible to find a loving forever home or rescue. We do all we can with the space we have before euthanasia to any of our animals takes place.

Jasper County Animal Shelter & Control enforces the ordinances of Jasper County, Indiana and Indiana state laws on animals.

Our facility intakes include stray and owner surrendered pets. We are a shelter specifically designed to take in cats and/or dogs.

ADOPTIONS: Adoption Fee of $35.00 for cats/kittens Adoption Fee of $35.00 for dogs/puppies
Adoption fees cover the first vaccination & de-wormer of animals puppy and kittens & older if needed.
We require all adopters to fill out an adoption application, provide a photo I.D., and obtain a prepay receipt from the veterinarian of their choice for the spaying/neutering and the rabies vaccination for the animal.

A BiG part of our success is due to all the rescues and people who volunteer their time to help us save our animals. We full-heartedly thank all of you who donate so much of your time to help us get our fur babies to safety!!
