Mower County Humane Society

We are an all-volunteer 501(c)3 No Kill shelter which receives no funding from Mower County, the City of Austin MN (shelter location) or the state. All funding is through adoption fees, donations and fundraisers. All funding goes to care of animals, zero payroll. We work with local law enforcement and the city pound so that no animals are euthanized once their hold time expires and they are unclaimed. Our average population runs about 30 dogs and 130 cats. In addition to rescuing and sheltering animals, we partner with local vet to sponsor periodic reduced cost spay/neuter clinics, and six times per year we host an on site visit of the MNSnap.org mobile surgical vet unit which provides reduced cost spay/neuters. We are small in numbers , but huge in heart and dedication.

Meet Skye (adoption pending)

Skye is a 1-2 year old Jack Russell Terrier/miniature Australian shepherd mix who came to us as an owner surrender. She was not getting along with the older female dog in the home and it was causing a lot of stress in the home. Skye has been fully vetted and her adoption fee is $150. Skye is a little bit on the shy side right now, which is understandable. She's a very sweet gal who is well mannered. She did live with kids in her previous home and did really well with them. She needs a home that is able to give her the exercise that she requires as she is a younger dog and is a mix of two active, intelligent breeds. She could potentially do okay with a well mannered male dog. She has had no experience with cats at all. NOTE:  Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved. Applications must be submitted at our website, mchs.rescuegroups.org. We are located at 101 22nd St. SE in Austin, right next to the airport. It's exit 180B off of I-90, right off of 218 South. We do require that potential adopters be at least 21 years old and that any resident dogs be up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing/preventatives, and spayed or neutered.

Adoption Process
Starts with written Application form which includes questions regarding housing situation (rent/own etc. renters require landlord approval), History of previous or current pets, Vet information, Animal housing information (cats must be indoors, dogs fenced yard etc.). Fees for Cat Adoptions are $50 (or $75 for two) Dogs vary based on breed, size, etc. Average is $125.
