Stover Animal Rescue is a No-Kill nonprofit 501(c)3 dog and cat rescue in central Missouri. We operate completely by the amazing work of our volunteers, and are funded totally through donations and our Thrift Store - without governmental support - and we partner with other animal advocacy groups. Your tax-deductible donations go 100% to providing care for the animals.
1. Complete the Adoption Application at the bottom of this page, and we will get back to you within about 48 hours. It doesn’t take very long to complete the application, it is not shared with anyone except Stover Animal Rescue adoption staff, and helps us help you find the best animal for your home. Please note: We require that any cats and dogs in the home be spayed or neutered and up to date on vaccines - or have a veterinarian exception. Also, due to long-term pain and disability associated with declawing cats, we cannot recommend this procedure be done for felines! 2. Personal interview – let’s talk – by phone, text, or email! We will answer questions, discuss the compatibility of the pet with your home and family, review the adoption contract, coordinate with you for a home visit and when to meet your new pet, and help resolve any concerns you may have. 3. Come meet your new family member – let’s see how everyone interacts! Review, complete, and sign the contract, and pay the adoption fee. Be prepared to take your new pet home with you!
