Simpson County KY Animal Shelter We are NOT Animal Control and have no ability to pick up animals. A county owned facility managed by Friends of the Shelter.

We have a 5 day stray hold policy and after that time, animals are available for adoption or rescue. We scan all animals who come into the shelter for a microchip and will make contact with the registered owner associated with the microchip. Be sure to keep your contact information updated with the microchip company. If you are missing a pet, always come in to the shelter immediately to check if she/he is here. If the pet isn't microchipped or your contact information isn't correct, then your pet is sitting here waiting for you to come look for him/her. Our goal is always to find the best fit for our animals. All applications are reviewed and verified by our Board of Directors; application information and interaction between the animals and the potential adopters are part of the decision making process. Adoption decisions are not based on who sees the animal first or who places the first application. Therefore, there isn't a benefit to putting in an application before you have physically come to the shelter to meet the animal you are interested in adopting. Visiting and spending time with our shelter pets is the very first step in the adoption process. It is very unlikely, certainly not typical for us to make a same day adoption. Adoption fees for dogs are $95 unless the dog is sponsored, then the adoption fee is $50. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, vaccinations, heartworm testing and microchip. Adoption Applications & Adoption Agreements are available at the shelter and they can be downloaded at our website: https://simpsoncokyanimalshelter.org/

Alley has made it to the saved by fate waiting list and is in need of a foster! If adopting isn’t something you’re able to do at this time, please consider fostering this perfect girl! 🩶

💔 Alley hasn’t always been shown kindness by humans, but she’s still hoping someone will give her a reason to trust again. 🥺❤️

Meet Alley, a gorgeous 3-year-old girl with a gentle soul and so much love to give!

Unfortunately, Alley hasn’t had the easiest start to life. Because of her past experiences, she can be timid and shy when meeting new people. But don’t let her initial nervousness fool you — this sweet girl doesn’t have a mean bone in her body! She just needs a little patience, understanding, and reassurance that she’s finally safe.

Once Alley feels comfortable, her loving personality begins to shine. She’s incredibly laid-back, enjoys a peaceful environment, and absolutely loves to cuddle! 🥰

🐾 Here’s what you should know about Alley:

* 🐶 Dog friendly!
* 🐱 Cat friendly!
* 👧 Kid friendly!
* ❤️ Gentle, sweet, and affectionate
* 🛋️ Laid-back and loves cuddling
* 🥹 Initially shy, but blossoms with patience and kindness
* ✅ Spayed and fully vaccinated

QWe’re looking for a foster family who can help Alley learn that the world isn’t such a scary place after all. 🏡

She doesn’t need someone to rush her or expect her to be outgoing right away. She just needs a safe place to land, a little time to decompress, and someone willing to love her at her own pace.

Alley has already experienced the difficult side of life. Will you help us show her the beautiful side? ❤️🐾
