al Shelter. They are located at 2935 Russellville Road in Hopkinsville. 270.887.4175

IF A NOTE HAS BEEN LEFT AT YOUR RESIDENCE, PLEASE CONTACT ANIMAL CONTROL. This keeps us from coming back if we can take care of the situation with one phone call. If the situation goes unresolved, it will result in a citation. Donations are always welcome! We can also use blankets, towels, food, treats, carriers, etc. We also take donations to the shelter if we have everything we need at the time of the donation. Donations can be dropped off at the Police Dept or City Hall. Tag Information:
