Must have an approved application to visit 

To adopt any animal one must have an approved application!

Please complete the intake application, if we have an open kennel we will notify you immediately. If we do not have space, we will place you on our waiting list. We only leave animals on list for 30 days. If you are still needing placement and it has been 30 days, please email us so we keep you on our list.

WE DO NOT INTAKE FROM PHONE OR IN PERSON!!!!!!

If interested in fostering, please complete the application. We will then email you a copy of the fostering manual. Once read over the manual, please let us know and we will send signature form. Then get you on list to begin fostering.

We love volunteers. If interested, please complete the volunteer application. Then you must complete a 1-2 hour training program before you can work with animals. If you are interested in maintenance, repairs, power washing, or landscaping, or helping with fundraising just complete application.

We are completely volunteer-run, Dept. of Agriculture licensed animal shelter. We are also a no kill shelter. This means we can not take in anymore animals until the current ones are adopted to forever homes. We realize this leaves some strays or owner relinquished animals not getting the help needed. We are working on coming up with donated land to build a bigger facility to meet more of the need.

We occupy the building where Tri-County Humane Society was located in St. James, MO, and we work with the city of St. James caring for animals that the police pick up if we have space for them, but we are not affiliated with the previous organization that was here, a city run rescue or animal control.
