We are in search of a foster home for Lily! Lily came to us as a stray in very rough condition which indicated to us that she had been neglected for quite some time. Lily will need to be given meds daily and receive some extra TLC. She is a very sweet girl that gets long great with other animals, but she is very frail, so we ask no rambunctious animals in her foster home. If you are interested in fostering Lily you can fill out our application below, if you have already applied to be a foster and would like to help this old lady out, give us a call at 308.237.7387!

Kearney Area Animal Shelter

The Kearney Area Animal Shelter was made possible due to the generous donation of gifts, talents, and time of many individuals. Most importantly, $1,000,000.00 was donated by Scott and Cheryl Morris for the construction of a facility that would be capable fulfilling the mission of the Kearney Area Animal Shelter for generations to come.

After a long and careful planning period, the Kearney Area Animal Shelter broke ground on their new facility on June 10, 2005. The site is located on Highway 30, south of Meadowlark Golf Course and east of the Nebraska Department of Roads facility.

The Kearney Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting ceremony was held on February 16, 2006 at 4:30 pm. and pet adoptions began Sunday, February 19, 2006.
