Our Featured Pet...

Jaime and Juliet have been waiting for their forever home for quite some time. They were adopted together when they were kittens. Their new owner lost her job and was no longer able to care for the girls. When they arrived back at the shelter, they were very scared and hid all the time. Even though our cats are free to roam about during the day, Jaime and Juliet wouldn't leave their cage. The area's staff worked daily to get them to come out and make friends. One day before closing for the day, the staff noticed Jaime on a windowsill. They were overjoyed and thought that finally after 6 months of hiding, they would now get their shot at a home. All they want now is to be loved on, held, and cuddled. Very friendly and affectionate girls, the both of them. We would really like for these girls to stay together since they have been together their whole lives, but we do understand if you only have room for one.

Mark the Date!

We have wonderful cats and kittens 24/7 waiting for you to come to the Adoption Center at Chesterfield PetSmart and give them a new home. Please come and meet them - we know you'll want to adopt one. They're not in cages and are loads of fun to visit! We'd love to have more volunteers to help care for them. If you're interested, send us an email or give us a call! We have many parent/child volunteer teams - a fun way to spend time together and do a good deed!

We have mobile adoption events at Chesterfield PetSmart, 262 THF Blvd, on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month from 10:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Our Mission

ODAS is the St. Louis area's largest no-kill shelter dedicated to preserving the life and health of homeless cats and dogs, providing shelter, food , veterinary care and most importantly, lots of LOVE! while fostering social skills and encouraging adoption into loving homes.

Adopting a friend

To adopt an animal from Open Door Animal Sanctuary you must commit to provide the utmost care for our angels. We believe the perfect home is one with a lifetime commitment to the health and happiness of their adopted friend. Adequate shelter, good food, fresh water and regular veterinary care are necessities and we have one more key requirement - at least 100 kisses a day for the life of your new family member!

We screen potential adopters to make sure they will provide the care that we feel is important. To ensure this, we require a home visit before any of our babies goes home, we just want to make sure they are in the best hands. We work hard to know the personalities of our furry guests and to understand each of them so that we are prepared to help you find the best fit for your lifestyle. Our goal is to make the best match possible to ensure a happy lifetime in your home. If you're a kind and caring family looking for a pet, please come and visit us. We'll help you find the perfect match!

The adoptable pets listing here is only a partial one. It's tough to keep up pics and bios for the very large number of wonderful pets we have for you to choose. If you don't see what you're looking for or if you have a particular pet in mind, please give us a call. Just because you don't find it listed doesn't mean we don't have just the pet for you!

Our adoption area is generally a 100 mile radius of the St. Louis area. It is important for us to have the opportunity to assist people in their homes with their new pet if needed and even more critical that as a no-kill shelter, we can readily "retrieve" our friends if something happens in the future. Thanks for understanding.

Our adoption fee is $120. That includes all necessary shots up to the date of adoption, spaying/neutering, wormings, flea/tick preventative, and microchip. Our cats are tested for feline leukemia and FIV (feline aids). Dogs are tested for heartworms and receive heartworm preventatives. Our facility is an open environment so our prospective pets aren't confined in small cages. We provide lots of socialization with people and with each other. One word of warning - our babies are frequently spoiled by our animal-loving staff and volunteers. We try to make sure that we provide them with everything we can - but WE NEED YOU to provide a LOVING FUR-EVER HOME!

Come Visit Us! We think you'll like what you see!

We generally house more than 200 cats and kittens and 80 to 90 dogs and puppies. Please come and visit us between 10:00 and 4:00 any day of the week (holidays, too - 10 to 2!)
