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 Toby (adoption pending)

Toby is a 2 year old purebred Pomeranian who came to the shelter as an owner surrender. He's a nice young dog who can be a little timid at first, but likes attention and is very loving. He has been vet checked, chipped, neutered and his fee is $150. Toby might need some basic training in all areas but he's pretty accommodating and kind of goes with the flow. He has done well with kids and other dogs. We don't think he'll have a problem with cats. It would be great to find him a home experienced with Pomeranians or similar breeds as they do require consistent grooming to keep them looking fabulous. The grooming can be an extra expense for owners. 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. Please keep an eye on your emails if you apply. 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. Potential adopters must be at least 21 years old and any resident dogs must be up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing/preventative, 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.

Look for other dogs for adoption!
