Fort Scott Paws and Claws Animal Shelter

We are a 501(c)3 non-profit animal shelter operated by the Shirley Yeager Animal Friends Foundation. We offer temporary shelter for animals in need of rehoming. Animals come to our facility through shelter exchanges, local animal control, and surrenders. Intakes are done by appointment only, but adoptions are open and available each day our shelter is open.

Additional adoption info

Adoption fees vary according to the animal. We often provide adoption discounts for senior animals or animals which have been at the shelter longer. All animals come with age-appropriate vaccines and are spayed/neutered. Dogs are also microchipped. All adopters must complete an application and provide a vet reference. Phone inquiries may take several days to receive a return call, but emails and FB messages usually receive a same-day reply.
