Our Story
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 $50.00 for cats/kittens Adoption Fee of $50.00 for dogs/puppies
Adoption fees cover the first vaccination, de-worming, flea treatment, and a micro chip of the animal.
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 the Community support, Rescues that take our animals that we can not adopt, and the people who volunteer their time to help us save our animals. We whole heartedly thank all of you who donate so much of your time to help us get our fur babies to safety!!
