Johnson County Residents

The Keene Animal Shelter is a municipal agency that serves the citizens of the city of Keene. We do not provide services for residents that reside outside of the Keene city limits. 

At this time, there is not an active animal control authority/animal shelter that picks up or houses stray animals in Johnson County. However, the Johnson County Sheriff's Department does respond to other animal-related complaints/issues.
