Mission Statement
To provide care and shelter to the homeless pets of our community, to reduce their numbers through spay and neuter, to promote humane treatment of all animals and to enhance the human-animal bond.
About This Cause
No-Kill animal shelter and low-cost spay and neuter clinic. About Dogwood Animal Shelter Volunteers have been the driving force behind Dogwood animal shelter since its beginning. Through auctions and sales, a handful of dedicated people raised enough money to build a small facility and in 1976, the badly needed shelter was established as a 501(c)3. It was filled beyond capacity almost immediately. From the start, Dogwood offered low cost spays and neuters, and since 1997, when the board of directors declared Dogwood a no-kill facility, it has steadily expanded that program. When the long awaited new shelter facility, located near Osage Beach was built in 2005, a spay/neuter clinic was included so that the surgeries could be done on site. Some 2018 statistics: In 2018, Dogwood Animal Shelter spayed/neutered 1,197 animals in its low cost spay/neuter clinic. Unfortunately, that's not enough; there's so much more to be done, as evidenced in the shelter's "full to capacity" condition. Dogwood Animal Shelter housed 250 to 300 animals consistently, providing shelter, rehabilitation and necessary medical attention to our homeless pets. In 2018, the shelter took in 687 dogs and cats and adopted out 692.
