Souris Valley Animal Shelter

Animal shelter in Minot, ND

The Souris Valley Animal Shelter (SVAS) is a 501(c)3 North Dakota nonprofit corporation that shelters animals in the Northwest region of North Dakota, federal ID number 45-0345317. Since 1978, we have helped over 35,000 animals through adoptions, medical services, microchipping, and legal cases.

Our mission is to create a better world for pets and people by advocating for animals and driving positive change within our communities. Whether through our community engagement programs, providing emergency care in crises such as the 2011 North Dakota flood, and supporting local law enforcement in managing animal abuse or hoarding cases, our goal is to enhance the well-being of our community and make it a model of compassion and responsibility.

Additional adoption info

The adoption applications are closely reviewed by the SVAS team to determine if approval is in the best interest of the animal and the family. We process applications on a case-by-case basis since, like humans, requirements vary between animals and they may have specific needs or preferences.

SVAS reserves the right to refuse adoption under certain circumstances.
