Jasper County, Indiana

Animal Control

Jasper County Animal Control & Shelter 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 we do not have 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 any animals are euthanized.
