The Souris Valley Animal Shelter (SVAS) is a nonprofit organization that shelters animals in the Northwest region of North Dakota. Over a span of 40 years, we have helped approximately 35,000 animals through adoptions, spay and neuter services, and microchipping. We serve over 11 counties encompassing more than 75 miles, including Minot Air Force Base. Our mission is to create a better world for pets and people by advocating for animals and moving communities forward. Whether we are providing services through our community engagement programs or providing emergency care in situations such as Hurricane Katrina or the 2011 North Dakota flood, our goal is to make our community the very best. We envision a North Dakota that practices modern-day care, shows compassion, and provides opportunities for shelter pets and the community. For this reason, we are building a shelter that represents the true quality of life for abandoned animals in Minot.
To start the adoption process: Check out our available pets. Plan to visit the Shelter to spend time with the pet(s) you are interested in adopting. Our kennel staff is familiar with the pets here at the Shelter and can assist you with choosing the best pet for your family and your needs. Once you have found the pet you are looking for we ask that you contact us at (701) 852-6133 and inquire about our adoption procedures. Most times adoptions can happen on the same day. The adoption applications are closely reviewed by the SVAS team to determine if approval is in the best interest of the animal and the family. We process applications on a case-by-case basis since, like humans, requirements vary between animals and they may have specific needs or preferences. SVAS reserves the right to refuse adoption under certain circumstances.
