Jefferson has a big smile that matches his personality! He is goofy and playful. Jeffy likes to play with toys but hasn’t figured out he should bring the ball back during fetch. He gets along well with other dogs at the shelter and adores the older kids who visit the shelter. This guy is also affectionate and cuddly. He gives the best big, sloppy kisses! We believe he is potty trained, as he keeps his kennel clean. He is also intelligent and already knows the “sit” command. When you meet him, his big grin will win you over!
Jefferson was dragging a leash when he was found as a stray. His owners did not reclaim him. He deserves paw-rents who will match his loving personality. If you can provide that for him, scan the QR code by his picture and apply to adopt him now!

Adoption Information:
All dogs adopted from Mason County Animal Shelter are spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and treated with flea/tick preventatives. Adoption fees are half-priced thanks to the EnviroFlight Fur-ever Home Adoption Sponsorship Program! Adult dog adoption fees are $40, and puppy adoption fees are $60! One generous individual is willing to pay the adoption fee for a veteran to adopt a dog of their choice. Tom and Gail Wise have sponsored the adoption fees for several dogs. George’s adoption fee is sponsored by Giving Hearts and Helping Hands Ministry. Sponsors for the remainder of the adoption fee for any of the shelter’s dogs are welcome!

MCAS needs more volunteers and foster homes! You can foster a dog for as long as you like, a few hours or a “Doggo Day Out,” a weekend, a few weeks, or longer. Volunteers can help in many ways, including walking dogs, grooming/bathing dogs, helping with playgroups, transporting, or helping at meet-and-greet events out in the community. If you want to become an MCAS volunteer and/or fosterer or sponsor a dog’s adoption fees, please call the shelter at 606-564-6067 or email animalshelter@masoncountykentucky.us.
