Animal Control & Shelter

Mission

The Boyd County Kentucky Animal Control and Shelter was established by the Boyd County Fiscal Court in accordance with the Kentucky Revised Statues. Its mission is to provide services which safeguard the public health and safety, to humanely house and care for the animals it is in charge of, to protect the animals of the community from abuse, and to provide its citizens with information concerning spay / neuter and responsible ownership.
