Atchison Animal Control, Atchison Kansas

The, Atchison Kansas Animal Control is a Unit of the City of Atchison, Kansas Police Department. This Unit provides a unique service to the citizens of our City, by combining activities of a law enforcement agency that protects people and their property with a humane organization that protects animals.
Irresponsible pet ownership and pet over-population are the main reasons that any animal control agency exists. Pets can provide significant benefits for families. When pets are not properly cared for, they can become not only a nuisance, but also a threat to the health and safety of the community.
The Atchison Kansas, Animal Control Unit has a mission to balance the health, safety and welfare needs of people and animals within the City of Atchison.
The Unified Government of the City of Atchison, Animal Control Facility is located at 1801 Main Street. The shelter provides humane care for animals impounded until they are returned or reclaimed by their owner, adopted to a new family, or humanely euthanized due to EXTREME aggression as ordered by a court of law, or suffering after EVERY step has been made to make their suffering end with TOP of the line Veterinary care.
ONLY 10 kennels are available to house at this time in our small shelter. With only 10 kennels available, please remember that vicious dogs are housed, cruelty cases are held pending court hearings and dogs at large (until reclaimed or adopted) While every effort is made to take owner surrenders, sometimes that takes some time, but please contact me as I can list, search for rescue before I have available kennel to accept the animal into our care. I will make every effort to help you until this process is complete by helping care for animal(s) and coming up with solutions.

REMEMBER: It is YOUR responsibility to care for your animal until arrangements are made to make sure ALL needs are met for your animal... please allow time for this to take place, you OWE this to your animal(s) If you “abandon” your animal you will be charged with cruelty to animals as this IS A CRIME... please contact me and we will work on placement/solution. :)
