Give Hope This Season
The homeless pets of Nodaway County can depend on US, because we can depend on YOU! Only together, with your financial support, is our mission possible.
Found as a stray outside of Albany in December 2022, Ralph was a sight to behold. He was emaciated, soaked in his own urine and had head lacerations and matted fur. With your donations and our staff’s expert care - Ralph got the second chance he deserved!
Today, Ralph delights in toy playtime, car rides, leisurely walks, head scratches and cuddles with mom. Ralph’s transformation is a testament to love’s power.
Renew your dogs city tags for 2025.
Maryville requires all dogs – with owners living inside the city limits – to be registered and licensed each year.
We are always seeking community members who are willing to open their doors to our animals who need some TLC outside of the shelter.
Support the shelter by fostering animals in need.
