Fulton County Animal Shelter

Caring for the lost and unwanted as we try to find each a new forever home!

This facility houses those animals picked up by Fulton County Animal Control and owner surrendered animals. The manager is reimbursed for 3 days of stay for each animal after which all expenses come out of the personal moneys of the manager.

We work with rescue groups when possible to move animals out of this facility. We consider adoption to applicants outside of this county and even outside of the state. Rescue groups interested in working with us are asked to contact us by phone and be prepared to provide basic information about your organization and its policies.

We have many very adoptable dogs and cats, puppies and kittens and they are looking for that special person to give them a "ForEver Home". Could you be that "special person"?  All available animals have been listed on Petfinder.com since April 2006 and have been listed on PETS 911.com as well as on this site beginning in November 2006. Our available pets have been posted on Purina's Very Best Pet Network boards in the pet supplies department of Walmart stores in Rochester, beginning in August 2006, and Wabash, beginning in October 2006.

Low cost spay and neuter surgery services for cats only began in November 2006 with the scheduling of the NeuterScooter in Fulton County sponsored by Fulton County Animal Control.

Beginning January 2007, most Found animals received by this facility are listed on Lostandpound.com in an effort to reunite them with their owners.

We are constantly striving to improve services for both animals and adoptee's, expand adoption options with off-site adoption days and participation in National Adoption events, publicize our facility, its activities and those animals looking for new homes on the local radio station and postings in local businesses and community centers. Discussions for the future will cover more extensive vaccination services, disease screening, and temperament evaluations, and the utilization of volunteers.

Puppy mills stay in business because so many people acquire their pets from pet stores. Please visit The Fulton County Animal Shelter to look for your next pet. Our animal shelter has many, many dogs and puppies and cat and kittens to choose from.
About twenty five percent of all dogs in shelters are purebred.
So if you have your heart set on a certain breed it just might be waiting for you.
Give the animal shelter animals a chance; you are saving a life.
