Mission Statement

The Animal Control Advisory Board seeks to reduce the number of homeless companion animals and set high standards for facilities that care for those animals in Kentucky. This will improve the lives of our pets, reduce expenses for local governments, and address the public health hazard of homeless animals in the Commonwealth.

What we do

• Sponsor training sessions for animal control, animal behavior, and the humane administration of euthanasia
• Make available grant funds for the construction of new animal shelters or renovation of existing shelters using appropriations from the Kentucky General Assembly
• Award grants to Kentucky governmental agencies for purchase of equipment to help animal control officers perform their duties safely and efficiently
• Award grants for local spay/neuter programs with funds from the sale of the Kentucky spay/neuter plate and from donations
