To anyone who may have stopped by Petco on Sunday, November 8th to adopt a pet, we sincerely apologize for the confusion of us not being there.  More than half of the shelter staff is down with the flu and we did not have anyone healthy to send for the event.  We apologize for any inconvenience this caused and hope you stop by the kennel to see the animals there.  Thank you for your understanding.

Who We Are

The Jefferson County S.P.C.A. is a non-profit organization that was founded over 112 years ago to help protect and care for domestic animals in Jefferson County. We are the only No-Kill facility in the area, as well as being the only shelter to accept cats in the county. Our shelter is the primary abuse investigation organization, and is the site of the only early-age spay/neuter before adoption program in Jefferson county. As a non-profit organization, we exist on the donations that we receive from the general public as well as from our varied fundraising events.

The Jefferson Co. S.P.C.A. accepts animals on a space available basis. The animals need to be assessed by a shelter staff member before a final decision of acceptance can be made. Assessments for animals to be released are done Monday thru Friday 9 am to 12 pm. A montary donation is requested at the time of relinquishment.

Our Goals

Our goals include reducing the number of unwanted companion animals in Jefferson County. It is equally important to our organization to reduce the amount of animal abuse and neglect that is committed in this area. In addition, we are actively involved in public awareness and education at all age levels. We are also actively striving to provide a better quality of life for those animals entering a shelter environment, as well as a better quality of pet to those adopting from our shelter.
