Jackson County Animal Protection Society

Jackson County Animal Protection Society Our mission is to protect and prevent cruelty and neglect of animals & find them loving homes.

JCAPS is a 501c3 charitable organization founded by volunteer community members with the goals of establishing an animal shelter facility for Jackson County. We are currently foster based and only able to rescue a limited quantity of animals at a time. In August of 2021, our board members opened a small pet supply shop called "A Pet's Tale" located at 313 2nd Street, Jackson, MN. This was established as a means of fundraising for a shelter building.

We have had numerous calls since our founding. Of people who believe there are instances of Animal Neglect happening. Un...

We have had numerous calls since our founding. Of people who believe there are instances of Animal Neglect happening. Unfortunately as a citizen run organization we have no legal authority.

However, after some digging on "what to do" we found this passage in the Minnesota Statute

https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/343.22

Which as I understand it, this requires the concerned citizen to document the alleged instances of neglect. Then take those documented instances to the court; swear and attest to them under oath; if the court finds these allegation to be substantiated, they (the court) will then engage law enforcement to get involved.

For clarification I would suggest reaching out to either Jackson County Sheriff's Office or City of Jackson, MN

Any person who has reason to believe that a violation of this chapter has taken place or is taking place may apply to any court having jurisdiction over actions alleging violation of that section for a warrant and for investigation. The court shall examine under oath the person so applying and any w...
