FERGIE came to us as a stray. Sadly, no-one has come forward to claim her, so now she is up for adoption. She was very scared when she first came to the Shelter, but she is slowly becoming more confident. What a sweetie - she knows "sit" and loves to have her tummy scratched.
This is a very nice young dog - she loves to go for walks outdoors and she is enjoying the new sights and smells. She is pretty eager to get outside for her walks, but once you are underway, she tucks in nicely beside you and is very good company. You feel as though you are going for a walk together with a friend.
Her tail wags at the slightest opportunity and she is going to be a lovely young lady. Her teeth would indicate that she is a younger adult. Our estimate would be about 2 or 3 years old.
When anyone comes to visit the dogs, she bounces her front legs up and down in excitement and woofs. This just means that she would like to get out of her kennel and interact with you. She is not a "jumping up" "barking" dog. Please take her out for a walk or sit with her in our exercise yard - you will find out what a sweetie she is.
> The Jefferson County Animal Shelter is currently seeking volunteers to help with daily chores around the shelter. We currently are especially short on volunteers to help with feeding the cats and cleaning their cages on Tuesdays. We always need volunteers willing to take our dogs for walks and play time in our new enclosed outdoor run. Weekends are also times we need both dog and cat volunteers. Reaching out and touching a shelter animal's life will change yours! Please call the shelter at 385-3292 to get more information on how to become a volunteer today.
JCAS is a county government run facility newly administered by Jefferson County Sheriffs Department. It shelters lost and homeless animals and provides community and educational services including pet adoptions and outreach program.
Adoption cost for a cat is $81 and a dog is $94. This includes Spaying or Neutering, Initial shots and worming, Free health exam from a participating veterinarian, a two week guarantee, a two year license, and educational materials for the adopter. JCAS does its best to ensure that we adopt healthy companion animals. We ask potential adopters to fill out an Animal Questionnaire so we may better match animals and families. This reduces the chances that an unsuitable match is made, and hopefully prevents the return of animals to the shelter.
We are located just off of Jacob Miller Road, next to the Solid Waste Landfill. We are open Wednesday-Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. If you are interested in one of our animals you may call first to see if it is still available. We can hold the paperwork during your travel time to the shelter.
