Veterans Day Adoption Special: Tuesday, November 11

Calling all Veterans - Active and Retired! Join us at the Humane Society of Southwest Missouri on Veterans Day, November 11, for our Veterans Day Adoption Special. 

For one day only, veterans and current service members may adopt one dog or cat - ages 6 months or older - for free as a thank you for your service. The same adoption application process applies with the waived adoption fee, and just bring along a valid military ID or DD214 as proof of service and we'll help you find your new furry friend! 

​
Thank you to all the brave men and women, past and present, who have fought for our country.

Low-Cost Vaccination & Microchip Clinic: Saturday, November 22 from 9am-1pm at the Humane Society
​

Each month, we host a low-cost vaccination and microchip clinic for the public here at our shelter. No appointment is needed, as we accept walk-ins only! Spots are limited to 80 people, and each individual can bring up to 3 pets with them. The clinic is first-come, first-served.​

​For your pet's safety, all dogs must be on leashes and all cats must be in carriers for the entire duration of their visit to the shelter. If you are bringing multiple cats, please separate them and use an individual cat carrier for each cat. We can only provide services to animals that are safe for our staff to handle.
