Our Featured Pet...
Zeus of the Gods!
My head is not in the clouds! I’m a down to earth dog with all four feet firmly planted on terra firma! Besides who wants to put up with all those hormonal Greek Gods anyhow, I rather find my heaven on earth with a loving family. I’m a cutie that just wants to please. I’m not hyper at all and I have all the manners that is expected of a noble dog. I’m also LOVER. You know the reputation of those Greek Gods so I'm glad that I'm neutered! So ride your chariot of fire down here and we can ascend to Mount Olympic!

Who We Are
Our mission statement: *To enforce the Animal Control Ordinances to protect the health and welfare of the citizens of the City of Montrose. *To advocate professionalism by providing quality education for animal care and control officers. *To protect and manage the animal population. *To provide community education that encourages responsible pet ownership including spaying and neutering. *To place as many adoptable animals as possible in suitable homes. The services that we provide: The City of Montrose Animal Services welcomes any stray animal from the City or County of Montrose, City of Olathe, Ridgway State Park, and Switzer State Park. The Animal Shelter takes adoptable owner relinquished animals if we have space available. The Animal Shelter also holds animals for rabies quarantine (normally 10 days) or dangerous and nuisance animals pending a disposition by the Court. We also hold animals whose owners are involved in accidents, are incarcerated by law enforcement or have an emergency situation that is referred to us by governmental or non-profit agencies. The City of Montrose Animal Services provides humane cat traps to city of Montrose residents only. There are 4 full-time Animal Control Officers who provide animal contol services for City of Montrose.
All animals adopted from the shelter will be spayed or neutered and vaccinated upon adoption. IN ORDER TO DO WHAT IS BEST FOR EACH ANIMAL, ALL ADOPTIONS ARE ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS. WE CANNOT HOLD ANY ANIMAL. If you have questions or need additional information please call the shelter.
We have some felines that need to go to barn homes. They are not tame enough to be adoptable. They are fine being around people but do not interact. We like our cats to go in pairs to barn homes so they have a companion and the transition is much more successful. The barn home needs to provide food and shelter and on-going care. Initially the cats need to be kept confined for several weeks until they bond with their new environment so when they are turned loose they won't run away. If you have such a setting and can help provide a home for a couple cats that have no other alternative.

Adoption Hours Monday - Saturday 10:00am - 4:00pm Sunday Closed.
