Claws & Paws Animal Adoption Center

Claws & Paws Animal Adoption Center Animal Shelter. Open Monday-Friday 12:00pm-4:00pm and Saturday 12:00pm-3:30pm. We have an application for everyone who is wanting to adopt to fill out.

Lebanon Humane Society, Inc, doing business as “Claws and Paws Animal Adoption Center” is a Missouri Non-Profit Organization. Our purpose is to serve the Lebanon/Laclede County region as a limited admission animal shelter which will strive for a 100% adoption rate of shelter animals with no euthanizing for time or space. We will also work to promote humane care of companion animals and educate the

community concerning pet overpopulation. All adoptions include age appropriate vaccinations and dogs are microchipped. If an animal is not already altered the spay or neuter is included in the adoption price if you schedule an appointment to bring the animal back to the shelter for our vet to do. If you choose to take the animal to your own vet, we will give you a certificate and we will cover $32.00 for dogs and $22.00 for cats. Lebanon Vets honor our certificates, but the service may be more than the certificate will cover depending on size and for pain meds. If you rent your home, we must call and verify with the landlord that you can adopt from us. As with all animals adopted here, there is a contract that states if the adopter during anytime of the animal's life can no longer care for under any reason, must return the animal to us. Animals cannot be sold, traded or given away for any reason. We also offer a 14-day return policy, so if for any reason the animal doesn't work out you can return them to us and can do an exchange for another cat or dog, one time only. The contract also states per Missouri law the animal MUST be spayed or neutered within 30 days of the adoption date (depending on age). We have been known to go and take animals back that have not been taken care of or if there is a breach of contract. We are always willing to take strays or animals that the owners can no longer car for if we have the availability. We take these animals by appointment only and as space allows. If you have any questions, please call at 417-532-9671. We also offer low-cost spay and neuter appointments for people living in the Lebanon and Laclede County areas. As well as low-cost vaccinations and $20.00 Microchipping.

Meet Aspen! 🐾 This 5-year-old husky mix is a big, fluffy sweetheart looking for her second chance at a forever home. Aspen came to us after a scuffle with another dog in her previous household. She had lived peacefully with that dog for three years, and neither had any history of aggression—there were just a lot of guests in the home, and the situation wasn’t clear. Out of caution, her family felt it was best to surrender her.

Now, don’t count Aspen out! Since arriving at the shelter, she has met other dogs without any issues. If you have dogs at home, we recommend a meet-and-greet here at the shelter to be sure it’s a good match.

Aspen herself is a sweet, affectionate girl who loves interacting with people. She’s a big, extra-fluffy cuddle bug, and for her health, it would benefit her to slim down a little (but hey, who can’t relate?). She could also use a refresher on leash manners, but we’ve been told she is house-trained. She was never crate-trained, but when left alone she was always a good girl—never destructive.

Aspen is ready to bring love, companionship, and a wagging tail to her new home. 💙 Could she be the one for you?

UPDATE ADOPTED!!!!!!

Meet Wren!
Wren is a 1 ½ year old Australian Cattle Dog who hasn’t had the easiest start in life. She’s been bounced around more than once, often given up on simply because she wasn’t the “right fit.” Her most recent owner surrendered her for being “too destructive” and for challenging the neighbor’s dogs—but when we asked what outlets she was given for her energy and drive, there wasn’t much of an answer.

Here’s the truth: Wren is not a bad dog. She’s a working breed through and through. Australian Cattle Dogs are bred to have jobs, and if they don’t have a proper outlet, they’ll find their own—sometimes in ways that are frustrating for owners. Wren needs a family who understands that she needs mental stimulation, physical activity, and structure to be her best self.

Wren has lived with other dogs and enjoys their company. She’s smart, energetic, and ready to learn new skills. With consistent training, daily activity, and a job or tasks to focus on, she will shine. She’s the kind of dog who thrives when she has purpose—whether that’s learning new tricks, helping with chores, agility, or even just long walks and play sessions that engage her mind.

This is a dog with tremendous potential and a lot of love to give. Wren isn’t a couch potato—she’s a companion who will reward her family’s patience, guidance, and time tenfold. If you’re ready for a dog who is loyal, intelligent, and full of life, Wren is waiting for her perfect match.

Lisa is now 8 months old—and she’s spent nearly every day of her life in a shelter.

She came to us back in early March as an 8–10 week old puppy, abandoned alongside her two siblings. Both her brother and sister have since found loving homes, but Lisa is still waiting. She's growing up behind kennel doors, passed over time and time again.

And we just don’t understand why.

Lisa is sweet, playful, and full of love. She adores toys, lights up for attention, and has the happiest, goofiest energy when someone stops to play with her. She’s bursting with potential—she just needs a chance.

Because she’s spent her whole life in a shelter, Lisa hasn’t had the opportunity to learn what it means to live in a home. She’ll need some patience and guidance to catch up on her training, but she’s smart and eager to please. With a little consistency and a lot of love, Lisa will thrive.

It’s hard to watch such a bright, loving pup spend the most important months of her life waiting. Lisa deserves more. She deserves a family. A bed. A backyard. A best friend.

If you’re ready to help a good girl finally get her shot at a real life—please come meet Lisa. She’s been waiting for you.
