Marshmallow Foundation

Marshmallow Animal Shelter is a “low kill” shelter. This is very important to all of us and we believe in it with all of our hearts. The animals that are brought to us as “strays” are held for five (5) business days. After that hold period is up, we have the right to have that animal euthanized. We wanted to give animals a second chance at finding new homes so we chose to have a policy where we only euthanize if there are extenuating circumstances. We do our very best to not give up on any animal brought to our doorstep! Because we are committed to caring for these animals until we can find them appropriate homes, many are with us for a very lengthy period. On average, we have over 40 cats and 15 dogs to care for while they wait to find new homes and families. We do not give them time limits. But to do this requires support from our public. In addition to finding homes for these pets, Marshmallow Animal Shelter also works closely with local and regional service dog training programs and police departments. We are proud to have had several shelter dogs go on to help people or places in need! The staff and volunteers of Marshmallow Animal Shelter work hard every single day providing for the animals that have no other place to go. They do this because it is in their heart and it feeds their soul. Please help them continue to care for these pets in need and provide a safe haven for them until they find new families and homes. Please consider making a donation to ensure that these animals have someplace to go when they need it most. Thank you!

Meet Malificent aka Maley

Maley is seeking someone with the passion of putting in some work & love with scared dogs! Sweet sweet girl, but sadly under socialized-would benefit greatly from having another dog in her life that is confident and willing to help guide her on how to "dog". Absolutely thrives being outside and learning to be comfortable with her surroundings. Still very cautious of new humans and shies away. If interested in possibly helping Maley, please complete either a foster or adoption application and we will reach out to you for a chat! Visitors to the shelter are by appointment only and after a form has been submitted online:  https://www.marshmallowfoundation.org/forms/    

Adoption Process
Marshmallow Animal Shelter wants to make certain that every animal adopted goes to a loving home where it will be well cared. Because of this, our application asks a number of detailed questions, which are necessary for our screening process. Our application will ask you to what lengths you are willing to go, in order to accommodate the animal's needs and training. You must be able to show commitment of time, finances, energy and compassion to the animal. Once your application is approved, we require that you sign a contract guaranteeing non-transferal/sale of animal, its proper care, and spay/neuter surgery if not already done.

Look for other dogs for adoption!
