About this shelter

Jefferson City Animal Shelter in Jefferson City, MO

The Jefferson City Animal Shelter is located in Jefferson City, Missouri, at 2308 Hyde Park Road, roughly 25 miles north of Columbia, MO. It is open Monday through Friday from 12:00 to 5:30 PM, with redemptions on weekends available only by appointment. The shelter serves Cole County exclusively, holding stray animals for 5 days if unidentified or 10 business days if they carry identification such as a microchip, rabies tag, or ID tag, after which unclaimed animals become property of the shelter. While anyone may adopt an animal regardless of location, the shelter cannot accept stray or owner-surrendered animals from outside its Cole County service area, and it also provides cremation services to contracted veterinary clinics within the county.
