About
The Jay County Animal Control is an open door, municipal facility committed to protecting animals from conditions harmful to their well being, and to protecting the citizens of the community from stray, unvaccinated, and dangerous animals. We strive to promote a harmonious atmosphere between the animals and the people of our community.
Along with the stray animals we pick up, we take every domestic animal that comes to our door; young, old, sick, or injured. Although state and county laws require animals to be held a minimum of 5 days, we try to shelter some for months while we try to find them new homes. But more keep coming every day, and we can only house so many at a time. As a result, we must humanely euthanize those animals for which no homes can be found. We have one Animal Control Officer who covers the entire 384 square miles of Jay county.
Adoption Process
At this time, there is NO ADOPTION FEE!
Why are the pets free? We understand that there are a lot of initial expenses incurred when you get a new pet including; the REQUIRED Spay/neuter, Yearly vaccinations, general health exams, preventative medicines, obedience classes, food, dishes, collars, leashes, toys and beds to name just a few. We want you to be able to provide your new pet with everything that they will need right away! The most important thing to us is that these precious souls get into a great home as quickly as possible.
Your new pet must be spayed/neutered within 30 days of the adoption (or age appropriate) and proof from your veterinarian sent to the shelter.
