Animal Control Officer

Animal Shelter Director is the direct Supervisor to the Animal Control Officer Brodosi. The ACO is a City of Junction City employee and is dispatched through the Police Department 785-762-5912. 

The Animal Control Officer works Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm. Calls for service after-hours are referred to the Patrol Division. They will only respond to injured or vicious animal calls during the time the ACO is off.

Unclaimed Animals & Adoption

Animals coming in as a stray will be held for 72 hours. After those are up, they can legally be place on the adoption floor, transferred to rescues, euthanized, etc.  

Whenever feasible, it is the policy of the shelter to adopt out animals. If you would like to adopt an animal, please call or come by our Animal Shelter- we would love to help you find your new family member!

Programs and Events

Our shelter has a TRAP, NEUTER, RELEASE program for the stray cats within the City of Junction City. This allows the staff to trap feral cats, get them fixed, vaccinated against Rabies, ear-tipped and released back into the environment. As this program is functioning, Junction City Animal Shelter only accepts stray cats if they are sick or injured. We accept friendly stray cats IF space allows at the Animal Shelter.

We offer Low-Cost Vaccination clinics in the Spring and Fall time. During the Summer, we also offer a Heartworm testing and Microchipping event for the public. Stay tuned for dates to these here  as well as on our Facebook page.
