We are a small rural shelter in Bracken County, Kentucky. We work to ensure that all animals within the county are safe and cared for, as well as caring for the many dogs that reside in the county shelter. It is a tough job, as our hearts break every day for all the animals that we can't help, try as we might. 

BCAIN, a 501(c)(3),  was created to provide support to the Bracken County Animal Shelter and, in the future, hopefully all of the animals of Bracken County. If you would like to join this amazing group and work to ensure that all animals have a safe place to call home, join the meetings in 2025. The meetings occur at the Bracken County Extension Office in Brooksville @ 6:00pm. The dates for 2025 are:
