Update! **ARTEMIS GOT ADOPTED TODAY!**

Happy November! It's the start of a new month which means we have a new sponsored dog of the month thanks to Jim Roebuck-State Farm Insurance Agent! Thank you for your support and heart for animals, Jim and the State Farm Team!

November's lucky dog is Artemis! πŸŽ‰ Artemis's adoption fee is SPONSORED the entire month of November. Learn more about her below, and if you're interested in meeting her, our adoption application is linked in the comments of this post.

Artemis is the sweetest 8-year-old Lab mix you'll ever encounter! Her friendly demeanor and cuddly nature make her the perfect companion. Her intelligence is evident in her quick learning, and she's house-trained. Her loyalty is unmatched, and she'll be by your side through thick and thin. Artemis is wonderful with children, showing patience and love at every turn. However, she's a little fearful of cats, so a home without feline friends would be best for her. Adopting Artemis means welcoming a loving, loyal, and smart companion into your life. She's ready to bring joy and companionship to a loving family. Will you be that family?

It's National Cat Day! We want to introduce you to this cool cat, Mufasa! πŸ’™

Mufasa's curious nature is always on display, as he loves to explore his surroundings. He's very content cozying up by a window and people watching, and he absolutely loves playing with wand and feather toys! Mufasa was found as a stray in September and has quickly adapted to his new environment. We've also learned in his time with us that he's friendly with other cats. He's gentle and sweet, traits that makes him an excellent companion for anyone seeking a peaceful and loving pet. As a 1-year-old Domestic Shorthair mix, Mufasa has his whole life ahead of him. The future is looking bright - he just needs a lovely human by his side!

Mufasa's adoption fee is $50 and includes-up-to-date vaccinations, spay/neuter, and microchip. Fill out an application in person or online at SWH.ORG to meet him!

🐾 Breaking News! Anyone that adopts a Pit Bull mix today (that also includes all American Bulldogs, Bull Terriers, & Staffordshire Terriers) will receive a FREE bandana, tennis ball, and treat to take home with their new pet! 🐾

Did you know October is National Pit Bull Awareness Month? This month aims to shatter the stereotypes associated with Pit Bulls and put the spotlight on them! Like most dogs, Pit Bulls have a wide range of personalities and are often sweet, gentle, and incredibly loyal. They are also intelligent and eager to please, making them highly trainable. Just like with any other breed, proper training and socialization is crucial. Pitties thrive on human companionship and have deep love for their families - we have so many here waiting to be a remarkable companion for you!

Come visit 3161 W. Norton Rd. to see all of our adoptable dogs and cats! We're open until 6pm.

We're accepting walk-ins only, so no appointment is needed. Stop on in with your pet(s) during the time frames below if you're in need of a microchip. We use mini chips for your pet's comfort, and they are $25 per pet. Your pet(s) will get a special treat just for attending!

πŸ“† Friday, October 25 from 9am-12pm & 1-4pm
πŸ“ 3161 W Norton Rd, Springfield, MO

For your pet's safety, all dogs must be on leashes and all cats must be in carriers for the entire duration of their visit to the shelter. If you are bringing multiple cats, please separate them and use an individual cat carrier for each cat.

​*While this event is Halloween themed, we please ask that your pet does not wear a costume, as it will interfere with microchipping.

Hiya! My name is Grover! Let me tell you a bit about myself. I am a 5-year-old Anatolian Shepherd mix and have been at the shelter for a while now. I was found as a stray and was so scared when I first came in. I got a lot of TLC from the Humane Society staff and have gotten so much more confident and comfortable now! They tell me they are super proud of me and that my forever family is coming soon. I hope they are right, because I’ve been seeing my friends find their homes and am so happy for them, but I do wonder when it will be my turn. πŸ˜”

My dream would be to have a family to snuggle up to during the holidays! I promise I will love on you and be your very best friend. I am a sweetheart that is so ready for play dates and adventures with my person! I would prefer to be the only fur-baby and would be a great fit for a solo person or a couple without children. I will be your baby! I just ask for a little time and patience to get settled into my new home, and I'll be loyal to you for life. Come see me soon at 3161 W Norton Rd. Ask for Grover! 😊

Hi there, I'm Lottie! As a 3-year-old 60lb Shepherd mix, I'm sweet as honey, friendly as can be, and smart too. I'm an obedient dog that's already house-trained and ready to learn more. My energy will keep you on your toes, and playtime is my favorite time! Tug-of-war? I'm in. Catch me if you can? I'm game! I'm also fiercely loyal and brave, always ready to protect those I care about. With my energy level, I'm not the best match for families with kids. However, I am open to possibly having a canine sibling in my home! Let's set up a dog meet and greet to ensure we get along well.

I can promise you one thing if you adopt me - I vow to make you smile and laugh every day! How's that sound? If you're looking for a loyal companion who will always be there for you, look no further. Adopt me, and let's start our journey together! πŸ’–

My adoption fee is $175 and includes up-to-date vaccinations, spay/neuter, and microchip. Fill out an adoption application in person or online at SWH.ORG to meet me!

This is Evelyn, the cutest 2-year-old feline who's ready to steal your heart! 😍

Evelyn is a sweet soul who cherishes her independence, yet she's always ready to chase a wand and engage in a game! She was brought to our shelter by some good samaritans after being abandoned by her original owner. At this time, it's unknown how she is with kids and other pets. Evelyn can be shy and take a bit longer to warm up in new situations, however, her playful side really shines through once she feels comfortable. She has a heart of gold and enjoys attention from the people she loves, and she really is the sweetest companion you could ask for.

Evelyn is ready to meet you! Fill out an application to meet her today: https://www.swh.org/cat-application.html

No tricks, just a spooky good deal! πŸ‘»πŸΎπŸŽƒ

Join us at the Humane Society of Southwest Missouri this Friday for an exclusive all-day microchipping event! The low-cost clinic will take place at our shelter and is first-come, first-served. We use mini microchips for your pet's comfort, and they are $25 per pet. We're accepting walk-ins only, so no appointment is needed!

πŸ“† Friday, October 25 from 9am-12pm & 1-4pm
πŸ“ 3161 W Norton Rd, Springfield, MO

Microchips are a speedy solution to a spooky problem. They greatly increase the odds of you being reunited with your pet should they ever get lost. Protect your furry friends by getting them microchipped at a price that's giving your wallet a treat, too!

For your pet's safety, all dogs must be on leashes and all cats must be in carriers for the entire duration of their visit to the shelter. If you are bringing multiple cats, please separate them and use an individual cat carrier for each cat.

​*While this event is Halloween themed, we kindly ask that your pet does not wear a costume, as it will interfere with microchipping.

Hey there, I'm Shyla! I'm a very active and adventurous girl. I absolutely LOVE playing in the backyard and going on lots of walks. Laying in the sunshine is my favorite place to be! When it comes to my ideal forever home, I would love to be your one and only baby so I can receive all your attention. A backyard would be a huge bonus for me, but it's not required to adopt me. I just love to explore the outdoors! I'm an 8-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix, and while I enjoy my pals here at the Humane Society, I am so ready for my forever home! Can you help me find one? I've been told I'm such a good girl.. I'd love to have the chance to show you! πŸ’–

My adoption fee is $75 and includes up-to-date vaccinations, spay/neuter, and microchip. Come visit me at the Humane Society soon!
