Who We Are 
The Southwest Missouri Humane Society was founded in 1956 by a group of concerned citizens to promote the care and welfare of animals in Southwest Missouri. Our mission is to aid in the alleviation of distress and suffering of animals and promote their humane treatment through protection, placement, education, and legislation. To achieve this mission, we operate a shelter for animals in need of care, provide an adoption program for lost/abandoned animals, provide a lost and found pet service, promote spaying/neutering of all animals, and conduct educational programs for children and adults. We are the largest animal shelter in Southwest Missouri, and we see about 15,000-18,000 animals pass through our doors annually.
We are a private, non-profit animal welfare organization that relies solely on donations, fundraisers, bequests, and adoption fees to support our programs.

Adopting A Friend 
Dog/Puppy adoption fee: $75
Cat/Kitten adoption fee: $65
The adoption fee covers spay/neuter, first shots, and routine worming. All animals must be spayed or neutered upon or after adoption in accordance with the Missouri State Laws.
The animals pictured on our pet list are available for adoption at our Northside Facility. If you are interested in an animal posted, please do not hesitate with inquiring about them. We have many more animals to choose from at our shelter , so please stop by and visit!
