Ozarks Kat and K9 Shelter (OKK9) in Sunrise Beach, Missouri is a charitable 501(c)3, non-profit no-kill shelter that takes in various stray, lost, abandoned, or surrendered dogs and cats. OKK9 relies solely on the proceeds from our thrift store and the kindness and donations of the public to care for our animals. The thrift store sales and public donations are also the driving force behind our ability to offer a low-cost spay and neuter financial assistance program, which serves and greatly benefits our areas' domestic animal population. We are not city or state funded and all donations are tax deductible. We rescue approximately 600+ dogs and cats per year and help countless others through our community programs. Your donations change the lives of so many animals who would otherwise not have a chance. Our organization was founded in 1989 under the name Society for the Treatment of Abandoned and Fractured Friends (S.T.A.F.F.). We later made the change to Ozarks Kat and K9 to better reflect what we do and easily identify ourselves as a dog and cat shelter. Although our volunteers and employees are few, they are a mighty and passionate team of individuals. If you or anyone you know is interested in helping us, come to our facilities at 17290 MO Hwy 5 North, Sunrise Beach, MO 65079, just south of the Sunrise Beach/Laurie city limits line, or call us at 573-374-2629.
We pride ourselves on making sure each animal in our care is placed in the best possible home for that particular animal's personality and needs. Our adoption application is used to screen potential adopters but also to encourage people to think about what it takes to be a responsible pet owner. If you'd like to learn more about our process please contact the shelter office by phone 573-374-2629 or by email at [email protected]

Volunteers have been the driving force behind Dogwood animal shelter since its beginning. Through auctions and sales, a handful of dedicated people raised enough money to build a small facility and in 1976, the badly needed shelter was established as a 501(c)3. It was filled beyond capacity almost immediately. From the start, Dogwood offered low cost spays and neuters, and since 1997, when the boa

The organization was started in 1999 by four women who had volunteered at a local shelter. What they witnessed was animals being constantly overlooked because they were older or had some type of disability or illness. They took the cats and dogs home, and realized their calling was to provide a safe and loving home for animals that society deemed "unadoptable". Over time, we've expa
