Jessamine County Animal Care & Control

A great park to visit if you'd like to let your dog run free for a bit but bring your own water because there are no fountains and sunscreen would be a good idea because there is no shade. It could use some TLC but is in decent shape. One nice perk is that it seems to be little-known so there weren't any other dogs around, which is sometimes nice. Not ideal for socializing with other dogs but not a bad thing for us today as we were able to enjoy some nice quiet time in the sunshine.

This is a great place to visit cats, kittens, puppies, and dogs. I love bringing my son and other children here to play with the animals! The staff and volunteers are friendly and helpful. They also have some sort of work programme for low-risk inmates to do community service. I don't know a lot about this programme, but the in-mates I have interacted with have been pleasant and helpful. This is a great place to interact with animals! They also occasionally have sponsored pets available with a waived adoption fee. The only reason I would not give 5 stars is that with they recently changed their hours so they are now open 11-4 M-F and 10-3 Saturday. This has made it more difficult to bring school aged kids here during the week, whereas we used to be able to make it after-school. Overall, very positive experiences here! Love bringing my toddler to see the animals!

I can't say enough good about this facility and the people who work there. They are an example to every other county as a well managed shelter where the animals are given their best possible second chance.
