Our mission is to provide shelter and basic needs to Dawson County's homeless dogs and cats. We will evaluate potentially adoptable animals, improve their health and physical appearance, and provide suitable forums for their adoption. We will provide a humane death for non-adoptable animals in a timely manner. We will spay or neuter, when appropriate, all adoptable dogs and cats prior to adoption. We will educate the general public as to humane animal care.
We have two main options for pet adoptions. You may, of course, come to the shelter any time during business hours and visit with as many pets as you like. We know it can take time to find a good match, so relax and enjoy your time with us. You may also come visit with us during an off-site adoption event. Basic Requirements for Adoption: Adopters must be 18 years old with valid ID. Everyone in the household needs to be in agreement on taking on the responsibility of a new pet. Adopters must complete an adoption questionnaire and an adoption contract. We do not require meet and greets for all animals, but certain cases may be deemed necessary by DCHS staff.
