The National Animal Care & Control Association
is committed to setting the standard of professionalism in animal welfare and public safety through training, networking, and advocacy.
We are proud to celebrate an important milestone for the National Animal Care & Control Association with the return of in-person NACA ACO Level 1 training, reimagined for today’s animal care and control profession.
After many years without in-person ACO I offerings, NACA brought this foundational certification back to the classroom in Norman, Oklahoma, with a refreshed approach that reflects the realities, expectations, and challenges officers face today. This four-day training marked the first in-person ACO I under this modernized model.
This month we want to recognize the amazing officers with Hardin County, Kentucky. Jeff Reece, Chris Siler, and Shane Carpenter. The Animal Care and Control Department serves Hardin County with 11 employees and more than 50 volunteers. At any given time, they care for up to 200 animals in the shelter.
