Business Hours Mon–Fri 10–6 Sat by appt

Current visit pattern

Tri-County Animal Shelter lists Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 6 PM, Saturday by appointment and Sunday closed. Because adoptable pets can be adopted quickly, call before a long drive for one specific dog or cat.

Tuesday	10 AM–6 PM	Call first if you are visiting for one specific animal from an online listing.

How to Adopt from Tri County Animal Shelter

The official Adopt page says current residents are listed online and users can click a pet’s picture for more information and to apply. A practical adoption visit starts before you enter the building.

Check current residents online first

Start with the shelter’s adopt page and current pet listings. Write down the animal’s name, type, age estimate, sex, photo and any behavior or medical notes.

Confirm the animal is still available

Call the shelter before a long drive. A pet may be adopted, moved, transferred, temporarily unavailable, or already in the application process.

Ask what is included with adoption

The shelter lists adoption inclusions such as vaccinations, microchip, heartworm test and spay or neuter. Ask whether the animal has completed every step or still needs a scheduled procedure.

Ask fit questions, not just price

Ask about energy level, behavior, other pets, children, leash manners, medical notes, first-week adjustment, house-training or litter habits, and any known history.

Prepare for resident-pet introductions

The shelter’s adopt page includes detailed advice for introducing a new dog to your current dog. Use a slow, neutral-space introduction and avoid forcing animals together.

Have backup pets in mind

If your first-choice dog or cat is no longer available, ask staff which animals match your home, schedule, experience and energy level.

Better adopter question: “What should I expect from this pet during the first 72 hours at home?” This usually gives better guidance than only asking breed, age or fee.

Tri County Animal Shelter Adoption Fees

Searches like “Tri County Animal Shelter adoption fee,” “Tri County dog adoption cost” and “cat adoption fee Jeffersonville” need a direct answer plus what the fee covers.

$150

Dog adoption fee

Dog adoption fees are listed at $150.

Confirm current pricing before payment because policies or specials can change.

$100

Cat adoption fee

Cat adoption fees are listed at $100.

Ask whether the cat is ready to go home or still needs any medical step.

CARE

Included care

The adoption page says adoptions include up-to-date vaccinations, microchip, heartworm test and spay/neuter.

User question	Practical answer	What to confirm
How much is a dog?	Dogs are listed at $150.	Ask whether the fee includes all completed medical steps for that exact dog.
How much is a cat?	Cats are listed at $100.	Ask whether the cat is spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped before leaving.

Available Dogs and Cats at Tri County Animal Shelter

People searching “Tri County Animal Shelter dogs,” “adoptable cats Tri County,” or “Tri County Animal Shelter Shelterluv” want the current pet list, not old screenshots. Pet availability can change quickly.

Dogs

Look at the live dog listings, then ask about energy, leash behavior, dog-to-dog introductions, children, medical notes and first-week setup.

CAT

Cats

Ask whether the cat is shy, social, bonded, litter-trained, good with other cats, good for a quiet home or ready for a busy household.

FIT

Best-fit mindset

Do not choose only by photo. Ask staff what kind of home would help the animal succeed long-term.

Listing tip: If a pet’s photo is still indexed in search but missing from the live shelter page, call and ask whether the animal was adopted, transferred, reclaimed or temporarily unavailable.

Tri County Animal Control: Phone, Coverage and When to Call

“Tri County Animal Shelter” and “Tri County Animal Control” are related but not identical user intents. Adoption visitors usually need the Jeffersonville shelter. Stray, unsafe, nuisance or ordinance questions may need the Animal Control number.

Animal Control phone

Use this number for animal-control questions, service routing, ordinance issues or animal field-service questions.

Service area

Clark, Crawford and Floyd Counties

The official Animal Control page says it provides animal-control services to municipalities in these Southern Indiana counties.

Lost and Found Pets at Tri County Animal Shelter

The shelter page specifically encourages owners of missing pets to send a description, name, where and when last seen, special conditions and a recent photo. It also strongly encourages people to stop by the shelter to look in person.

If your pet is missing

Call the shelter at (812) 913-0025.
Send a recent photo, pet name, description, last-seen location and last-seen date/time.
Mention medical needs, age, collar, microchip, anxiety, deafness, blindness or other special conditions.
Stop by the shelter to look in person because photos and breed labels can be imperfect.
Make neighborhood flyers and post on local social media lost/found groups.
Contact surrounding county shelters and rescue groups.

If you found a pet

Keep yourself safe and avoid chasing a frightened animal into traffic.
Check for visible tags if safe.
Have the pet scanned for a microchip if possible.
Call the shelter or animal control with exact found location.
File a found report with a clear photo and contact method.
Do not permanently rehome a found pet without following proper lost/found steps.

Lost-pet search intent: People searching “Tri County Animal Shelter lost dog” need fast action. Repeat the search every day for several days because pets may arrive after your first call.

Community Cats and TNR Help

The TNR page explains that community cats are unowned or semi-owned outdoor cats and that Trap-Neuter-Return means cats are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated for rabies and ear-tipped.

TNR

What TNR means

TNR is used for community cat management: trap, spay/neuter, rabies vaccination, ear-tip and return.

CLARK

Clark County TNR

The TNR page says Clark County TNR is provided by Jeffersonville Animal Shelter at (812) 282-0071.

FLOYD

Floyd County TNR

The TNR page says Floyd County TNR is provided by Floyd County Animal Rescue League at (812) 949-9099.

Community cat note: Do not assume feral cats can be adopted as regular house pets. Ask the shelter or local TNR provider for the correct humane route.

Volunteer Help, Dog Walkers and Doggie Day Out

Volunteer searches have different intent than adoption searches. The volunteer page says volunteers help with cats, kittens, dog walking, cleaning, feeding, watering and socializing shelter animals.

WALK

Dog walkers

The shelter says dogs need time outside to burn energy and keep their spirits up while waiting for homes.

CATS

Cat socializing

Volunteers can help cats and kittens stretch, play and receive calm attention outside the kennel one at a time.

DAY

Doggie Day Out

The volunteer page describes Doggie Day Out as a way for volunteers age 18 and older to take a shelter dog on an outing with advance sign-up.

Volunteer tip: Call (812) 913-0025 or ask during normal business hours about current volunteer steps, age rules, sign-up timing and what help is most needed that week.

Found Animal, Surrender and Wrong-Door Mistakes

The official pages reviewed here clearly explain shelter, adoption, animal-control and lost-pet routes, but they do not provide a detailed public surrender-fee table. That means you should call first before bringing any owned or found animal.

Before bringing an animal

Call the shelter or animal-control number based on the situation.
Give exact location where the animal was found.
Explain whether the animal is friendly, injured, aggressive, sick, trapped or in traffic.
Ask whether the animal should go to the Jeffersonville shelter or another jurisdiction.
Do not leave animals outside after hours or at the wrong building.

Before surrendering an owned pet

Call first and ask whether intake is possible.
Prepare age, sex, spay/neuter status, vaccine records and medical history.
Be honest about bite history, fear, aggression, escaping, house-training and medications.
Ask about rescue, rehoming, food help, behavior support or TNR if the issue is cats.
Do not hide known behavior or medical problems.

Safety rule: If an animal is aggressive, seriously injured, in traffic, or creating immediate public-safety danger, do not try to solve it alone. Contact animal control or emergency services.

What to Bring Before Visiting Tri County Animal Shelter

Prepared visitors get better help and avoid preventable delays. Bring different items depending on adoption, lost-pet search, found-pet reporting or volunteer questions.

Photo ID

Bring valid identification for adoption, volunteer, reclaim or official paperwork questions.

HOME

Housing approval

If renting, confirm pet permission, breed/size limits, deposits and maximum pet count before adoption.

PAY

Payment method

Bring payment and confirm current adoption cost for the exact dog or cat before checkout.

DOG

Leash or crate

For dogs, plan a leash, collar, harness, crate or safe vehicle setup.

CAT

Cat carrier

For cats, bring a secure carrier. Do not transport a loose cat in a vehicle.

LOST

Lost-pet proof

For missing pets, bring photos, microchip records, vet records, collar/tag details and last-seen information.

After Adoption: First 7 Days at Home

A useful adoption guide should not stop at the fee. Shelter pets need a calm transition, especially when moving from a kennel environment to a home.

First 24 hours

Keep the new pet in a calm starter space.
Do not introduce every visitor, child and pet immediately.
Use leash or carrier control during transport and first entry home.
Expect stress behaviors such as hiding, pacing, barking, whining or reduced appetite.
Keep adoption paperwork, microchip details and vaccine records together.

Days 2–7

Build a predictable feeding, potty, walk and rest routine.
Introduce resident dogs in neutral spaces and supervise closely.
Keep dogs separated around food, toys and beds until trust is built.
Schedule a veterinary check if recommended or if symptoms appear.
Ask for behavior help early instead of waiting for problems to grow.

First-week reminder: A pet’s first few days may not show its full personality. Slow introductions and calm routines prevent many avoidable adoption problems.

Video Resource Note

I did not embed a random YouTube video because a current official embeddable Tri-County Animal Shelter video that directly explains adoption hours, animal control or the shelter visit process was not confirmed. For trust, this guide uses official Tri-County Animal Control pages and practical visitor guidance instead of forcing an unrelated video.

Recommended future video: an official shelter video explaining how to check adoptable pets, apply through Shelterluv, report a missing pet, volunteer, join Doggie Day Out or route animal-control issues.
