UPCOMING EVENTS

Supporting the Shelter Fire Recovery Fund

2023 Outstanding Shelter Award

New Nodaway Humane Society awarded the 2023 Outstanding Animal Welfare Organization of the Year Award by the Missouri Animal Control Association (MACA).

The award is given to “recognize outstanding volunteer work within your community; efforts to promote animal welfare, rescue, and pet adoption; and continued dedication to people and pets in your region.”

Renew your dogs city tags for 2024.

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.
