There are always a variety of animals available for adoption at the Humane Society. Pets can be adopted for a fee of $60.00. All pets have had their first vaccinations and deworming. Mandatory state law requires spaying or neutering of all animals adopted from a humane society. Area veterinarians have agreed to provide free physical exams within 48 hours of adoption to ensure adoptees are healthy.

Lost Pet Form ]
Go to all the local shelters in charge of lost animals and look for yourself, at least every other day.
Calling the animal control department or shelter on the phone is not always effective. Your pet may not yet be listed in the records atthe front desk, and the way you describe your pet may not be the way a shelter describes your pet. Any animal may become dirty, matted and neglected looking very quickly.
You MUST visit the shelter, even if your pet was wearing tags when it was lost. You will need to go to the shelter at least every other day.Sometimes it takes more than a few days for a pet to be picked up and brought to a shelter. Go visit the Joplin Humane Society to see if your pet is there. The Joplin Humane Society keeps a lost animal for 7 days and is available to help-the-animals and the families. It's CRITICAL that you visit and call periodically.
