The kennels are full and they’ve reached “critical capacity”. If you’re looking to adopt a dog or cat? Now is the time.
The Central Missouri Humane Society says it has filled its kennels and they are at “critical capacity.”
The shelter said they are waiving some of the adoption fees for its more than 50 adoptable dogs and more than 60 adoptable cats.
Adopt! We’ve got waived adoption fees on nearly all of our adoptable dogs and cats! Adult cats, Pitties/mixes and our benchwarmers have their fees waived during #cleartheshelters all month long! You can view all available pets online:Dogs: https://cmhspets.org/adoptable-dogs/ (use attributes to filter out by breed or benchwarmer status)
Cats: https://cmhspets.org/adoptable-cats/ (use attributes to filter out cats over 6 months of age)
Foster! If you aren’t ready for a long-time commitment, considering fostering. We have short-term fostering (foster for a week or two) or core fostering (foster until adoption). More information can be found on both programs at https://cmhspets.org/foster/
Lost and Found! If you have found a lost pet, please try to wait for 48 hours before bringing them to the shelter. Most lost dogs are found near their homes and adult cats that are healthy likely have a caretaker nearby.You can view lost and found pets, and access resources, on our website: https://cmhspets.org/lostandfound/ and join the Columbia, Missouri Lost & Found Pets group as that is where Animal Control lists strays they pick up as well.
Shelters and rescues all over the country are seeing record setting intakes and mid-Missouri is feeling this as well. CMHS has not pulled for space in many years and we are committed to not returning to that practice, but we can’t do it without some help.
