Mercer County Animal Control is a small County run facility. We are an open admission facility serving a small rural area. We work closely with no kill shelters and animal rescues that hold a current Non for Profit 501(c)(3) with the Department of Agriculture. It is our goal to place any adoptable animal in a forever home or rescue and reduce the euthanasia rate due to space. Mercer County Animal Control is to enforce the Illinois Department of Agriculture State Statutes and guidelines along with County Animal Control Ordinances. Mercer County Animal Control is under the budgetary constraints imposed by the Mercer County Board and continues to look towards reducing cost and increasing care.
