The Fayette County Dog Pound answers calls for stray dogs, complaints on dogs running at large, and we 

investigate animals killed by dogs and coyotes. Don't assume because the Police Dept. or Sheriff's Office 

is contacted that we will respond. Call us the following day on complaints and dog bites to make sure we are 

aware of the call and responding.

We are open to people looking for a missing dog/puppy, looking for a new dog/puppy, and people who just want 

to look at the dogs/puppies. We accept dogs and puppies from owners as well as strays.  Donations for this service 

are accepted. We offer tips on dog care and have FREE information in general for dog/puppy owners. We have a 

bulletin board for people to offer dogs/puppies to good homes or missing dog/puppy posters.

We are called to retrieve at least 30 to 35 dogs per week. These dogs are either lost,

abandoned, or ...."just isn't the same cute puppy we bought". We try, but there just aren't enough

homes for all the dogs/puppies, so we can use your help.

PLEASE HAVE YOUR DOG SPAY/NEUTER AT THE APPROPRIATE AGE.

We accept  ALL TYPES OF DONATIONS!

THANKS to all of you who have already adopted a dog/puppy from the pound, and also 

those who have contributed to the cause.

VISITORS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME AT THE POUND.     

 ONE IN THREE DOGS WILL GET LOST IN ITS LIFE.

MOST of the lost dogs who are found wearing a tag will get home.

MOST of the lost dogs who are found not wearing a tag will not get home.

PLEASE KEEP A VISIBLE LICENSE OR IDENTIFICATION TAG ON YOUR DOG.
