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.

"Dear Santa,

Hi Santa. My name’s Ruffus. I know this is a busy time of year, but I was hoping you’d read my letter anyway.

I’ve been at the shelter since April 2024, and I’ve been trying my very best to be a good boy while I wait. I show off my happiest tail wags, practice my manners, and greet each day with hope — even when it’s a little hard watching others find their families first.

I don’t need much for Christmas. Just a warm home, a soft place to land, and people who will see me for who I really am — a loyal, loving dog with a big heart and lots of love left to give. Once I feel safe, I promise I’ll be your biggest fan.

This will be another holiday season spent here, but I’m still believing my miracle is coming. I’ve got so much love saved up, Santa… I just need the right person to come find me.

If you have room on your nice list, maybe you can help point my future family my way — and while you’re at it, don’t forget about my shelter friends too.

Thank you for listening. I’ll keep waiting, wagging, and hoping.

Love,
Ruffus"

🎄 Ruffus is still waiting for his Christmas miracle!

If you have questions about Ruffus or any of our other sweet animals, please reach out — we’d love to help this good boy find his forever home this holiday season. ❤️🐾

Meet Duke – Your Next Best Friend! 🐾

Duke is an approximately 8-year-old Shar Pei mix who is ready to find a forever home where he can finally put down roots. He came to us after a heartbreaking change in his previous family’s life. It was an incredibly difficult decision, made out of love—his owner wanted to ensure Duke would end up in a home where he could be happy, safe, and loved as he deserves.

Duke is the kind of dog who wins hearts immediately. He’s friendly, outgoing, and affectionate, with a personality that lights up a room. He loves people—whether you’re a familiar face or a new friend, Duke is quick to make a connection. His love for attention is matched only by his calm, confident nature. He’s playful when the moment calls for it but also knows how to relax and enjoy quiet time with his favorite humans.

This sweet boy gets along wonderfully with other dogs and even cats, making him a versatile companion for many types of homes. He’s confident but not pushy, happy, and steady in new situations. Duke walks well on a leash, rides comfortably in the car, and already knows some basic commands, making him a joy to have along for life’s adventures.

Duke is a true foodie—he’s a treat enthusiast and a snack king—but who can blame him? He has earned every bit of enjoyment in life. A little weight management would be beneficial, but his cheerful, affectionate personality more than makes up for it.

Duke has been through a lot, having been bounced around more than any dog should, but he’s resilient, loving, and ready to become someone’s cherished companion. He’s the kind of dog who makes a house feel like a home, who will greet you with tail wags, and who will be your loyal shadow through thick and thin.

If you’re looking for a confident, friendly, affectionate, and well-rounded companion, Duke is ready to meet you—and he might just steal your heart instantly. ❤️

"Dear, Santa

I just wanted you to know I’m still at the shelter. But I’ve been a very good girl this year, Santa — I really have.

This will be my third Christmas here, and I’ve tried so hard to stay hopeful. I’ve learned to be patient, to trust a little more, and even made some doggy friends along the way — which is a pretty big accomplishment for me! But I still know I’d be happiest as the only dog in a quiet, loving home where I can finally relax.

I’ve watched so many other pups come and go- and I’m so happy for them ... but sometimes I can’t help wondering when someone will choose me.

Santa, I don’t need anything fancy under the tree — just a family of my very own. Someone who will see past my shyness, give me a comfy bed, a gentle routine, and a place where I can finally feel like I belong. I promise I’ll give them all my love in return.

And if you have room for one more wish… please help all my shelter friends find homes too. We’ve all been waiting for a little holiday magic.

Thank you for listening. I’ll be extra good — just in case you’re watching.

Love, Remmy"

🎉 Happy Tails, Schroder! 🎉
It was finally his turn to go home, and we couldn’t be more excited for this sweet boy and his new family! 💛

❤️❤️ WOODSTOCK HAS BEEN ADOPTED TOO! ❤️❤️
That being said… we’re now down to one last puppy.
🐾 Woodstock is the final little Peanuts pup still waiting for his forever home. He's so happy for all his siblings who have already found their families—but gosh, it sure is heartbreaking to be the last one picked. 💔

He’s just as sweet, just as deserving, and just as ready to start his new life. If you’ve been thinking about adding a puppy to your home, come meet Woodstock. He’s waiting for his “happy tail,” too. 🐶💕
