Meet Ember! Our newest Tik Tok star 🌟
He is still a puppy at only 8 months old, has been neutered and is fully vaccinated. He is such a sweet dog and as you can tell he is doing great work with our trainer!

We have a wonderful new volunteer working with us at the shelter. She has been doing some training and socializing with our dogs and has given us some wonderful feedback. She is giving our dogs some great opportunities to find forever homes. Here are a couple of photos of two she worked with last week. If you are interested in adopting or meeting our pets, please come by the shelter. 417-646-8239

Looking for a foster or loving, permanent home for this little dog. She was dumped today after her owner was told the shelter was full. She's very lucky to have been found by a sweet family who is temporarily fostering her until a placement can be found. Let's find her a forever home ❤️

If you are interested, please call or text the Osceola Vet clinic at 417-646-8239.

Our office will be closed on Wednesday, July 24th from 1:30-3:30 so that our staff can attend the funeral of a former shelter board member. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We will reopen after the service. We appreciate your patience.

We wanted to say a HUGE thank you to Rebecca Davis for donating a new Kurunda cat tower to our cat room. We finally got it assembled and they are loving it already ❤️ We truly appreciate everyone who donates food, supplies and items to help us out. We operate 100% on donations from our community, so every little thing helps.

We currently also have an overflow of kittens available for adoption. Come see us! 🐈
