While naming a cockroach after your ex or putting their name in a litterbox are fun fundraisers for Valentine's Day, we've got to get a little more serious over here as we have some truly broken hearts (and bones) needing mending. ๐Ÿ’”

โค๏ธ Glizzy has a grade 6 heart murmur and needs an echocardiogram to determine if she needs surgery or not.

๐Ÿฉท Ellie May is a parvo survivor from last year that recently found her way back to us. She came in limping and radiographs revealed she has a fractured pelvis, likely sustained from a large dog attacking her. We are consulting with MU Orthopedic to see what her next steps are.

โค๏ธ Finn came in as a stray earlier this week. He had a fractured elbow that needed immediate surgery. He's healing up now in a foster home, but emergency orthopedic surgery is never cheap!

You can help heal these broken hearts and bones with a donation to our C.R.A.S.H fund today! This special fund is set aside specifically for cases just like this. Let's show these dogs some love! ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿพ

Happy Valentine's Day! โค๏ธ๐Ÿพ

We've got a lot of love for today's featured pets! Our Candy Hearts litter have been busy all week providing puppy kisses to the community and now they're ready to find forever homes! ๐Ÿฉท

XOXO, True Love, Puppy Love, Love Bug and Cupcake will be at the shelter tonight from 4-6 if you'd like to meet them before they go back to foster! If you can't make it or are interested in a different one, you can fill out the adoption interest survey online! โค๏ธ

We've got a handful of dogs that really need a break from shelter life if you've got room for just 1 dog in your heart and home. You can click their bios for more information!

๐Ÿ’š Walton has been with us since September. He's pretty depressed and would love a couch to cuddle on with you.

๐Ÿ’š Alaric has been with us for a little over a month. The shelter environment is very stressful for him. He needs someone that will work with him on training and someone experienced with mouthy behavior.

https://new.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/CMHS-A-61881

๐Ÿ’š Harlem Shake has been here for 1 month. She came in near-death after being starved. As she's getting healthier, her energy levels are returning. She's wonderful with people, but doesn't seem to enjoy the presence of dogs so being in the shelter is causing her to go a bit stir crazy.

https://new.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/CMHS-A-62049

๐Ÿ’š Mahi came to us in early December. She has been pretty nervous with people the entire time and will need a low traffic home that can work on some much needed socialization.

https://new.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/CMHS-A-57458

๐Ÿ’š Compass has been with us since early January. He was recently adopted, but returned when the landlord said he was too big for the apartment. He can be a bit nervous around men and would do best in a low traffic home.

Happy ! If you're gearing up for the big game this weekend, maybe watch it with a new friend! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿพ

Sadie is a sweet girl that is doing great in foster! Here's what her foster family has to say about her:

Sadie is a sweet, friendly girl! She is looking for a great family where she'll never have to worry about being abandoned again. She has a great amount of playful energy. She finds happiness in all toys and loves to chew on bones! She does well with our dog and sometimes will chase the cat but we are working on it. She knows how to sit and lay down. She is kennel trained and settles down easily.

Rosie is looking for a special foster/adopter. As you can see, she is super stressed in the shelter. ๐Ÿ˜ž

She came in as a stray about a month ago. We got in touch with a previous owner and they said they gave her away to someone who likely dumped her.

She has been in foster, but due to her separation anxiety, she needs someone that can be home a lot. She also has stranger danger so meeting new people can be scary.

We understand the cards are stacked against her, but that's why we're making a desperate plea for her. ๐Ÿ’”

If you think you're able to help Rosie out, let us know!

Hello, I'm Princess! ๐Ÿ‘‘ I'm a beautiful and affectionate girl looking for a castle to call home. Although I can be a little coy when meeting new people, I enjoy being gently stroked on my head and cheeks, and will happily come up to sit beside you once we're friends.

When I'm not cuddling up to my people, I love to play in my tunnels and forts, climb my cat tree, and play with all sorts of toys!

Come and visit me today!

Our Story

In continuous operation since 1943, the Central Missouri Humane Society promotes the well-being of companion animals โ€“ pets that enrich the lives of the people who love them.

The Central Missouri Humane Society envisions a time when no mid-Missouri pet is homeless, abused or neglected.

As the only open-door shelter in Boone County, we take in every animal brought through our doors regardless of health or temperament. Many closed-door shelters and rescue organizations accept animals on a limited basis and will not consider accepting an animal that they do not immediately consider adoptable. At the Central Missouri Humane Society, we believe all animals deserve to be treated equally and do not discriminate based on breed, gender, age, health or temperament. Thanks to a proactive adoption program and dedicated network of foster homes, we never euthanize due to lack of space and no animal has a โ€˜time limitโ€™ while in our care. We rely on support from the public to offer life-saving medical care as well as intake prevention programs to keep loved pets out of the shelter. While we provide humane care to every treatable animal, we strongly consider quality of life and will never allow an animal to suffer.
