Shelter FAQs
Welcome to CMHS! In continuous operation since 1943, the Central Missouri Humane Society promotes the well-being of companion animals – pets that enrich the lives of the people who love them.
The Columbia Humane Society was formed in 1943 to provide shelter and care for Columbia’s abandoned animals. Originating in a little structure on Creasy Springs Road, the organization has grown into today’s Central Missouri Humane Society, a regional animal welfare agency caring for thousands of animals annually and providing veterinary services for low-income pet owners.
Primarily Boone county, but other counties as space is available.

Additional adoption info
Our adoption areas are closed for walk-in viewing. Instead, staff will bring animals you're interested in outside or into our meet and greet room. If you are interested in adopting, please visit our website and fill out the adoption interest survey first. Adoption fees can be found on each animal's profile on our website.
Unfortunately we are unable to offer transport for out of area adoptions.
