My name is Luna!

Anyone interested in adopting or rescuing an animal from our shelter should contact the shelter either by phone at 502-633-0009, e-mail us at danielle.reynolds@shelbycoky.com or come to the shelter in person. We do have an adoption process including an application. We make every effort to ensure a direct adoption is a good placement. We work with the potential adopter to find the right pet for their home.

The adoption cost for a dog is $65. Kittens and cats are $40. This includes the spay or neuter, heartworm testing, vaccinations & microchip!

The Shelby County Animal Shelter is open Tuesday Through Saturday 10-4. Closed all major holidays.

The Shelby County Animal Shelter is located at 266 Kentucky Street, Shelbyville, KY, 40065.

We are an open admissions animal shelter for Shelby County. We are governed by the Shelby County Fiscal Court and operated by Shelby County tax dollars. We accept all unwanted and stray animals in our county. We also perfom all neglect and abuse investigations for Shelby County.

The animals at our shelter are from a random source. We try hard to ensure the animals adopted from our shelter are healthy and free of undesirable temperments. We aggressively pursue solid adoptions and work with rescue groups, both purebred groups and generic. We do not charge a pull fee for reputable rescue groups. Receiving rescues will be responsible for all vetting and transport of the animal(s) being pulled.
