We pride ourself in offering healthy happy pets at the Sturgis Animal Shelter.

Did you know? Sturgis plays host to a huge variety of wild animals, including woodchucks, prairie dogs, squirrels, rabbits, deer, porcupines, badgers, raccoons, skunks and all sorts of other animals. Most, if not all, wild animals will leave an area as soon as they realize they are sharing it with a human, so if you are witness to a wild critter in your back yard, don't confront it, just wait and it'll go away! That said, if you see a mountain lion in your yard, CALL LAW ENFORCEMENT IMMEDIATELY!
If you have LOST YOUR PET please call the shelter at 1-605-347-8310 AND call your local law enforcement to file a lost animal report. Sturgis Police Dispatch and Meade County Sheriff's Dept. Dispatch is 1-605-347-2573. It is very important that you call in about your lost pet!! When you file this report, it alerts the officers and deputies that you are missing a loved one and they will watch for your pet while they are on patrol.
You can call the shelter to make that lost animal report if you live in Sturgis city limits occur. Be careful!

Donations!
The Sturgis/Meade County Animal Shelter is always accepting donations of dog and cat food (new or opened), dog treats and toys, cat treats and toys, plain unscented bleach, blankets, towels, frozen meat, and anything anyone wishes to donate.Those items not used here at this shelter are shared with other local shelters and animal sanctuaries; NOTHING is thrown away! Thank you for thinking of us!
We would dearly like to begin giving assistance to people in getting their animals spayed and neutered. Since the Shelter is municipally-owned, we don't qualify for any government or private spay/neuter grants...and our yearly budget only goes so far. r>
