Waynesville Animal Shelter

Animal welfare is a top priority for our incredible team of volunteers. We act on our convictions after reflecting on them.

The Rolla Police Department's Animal Control Section is primarily responsible for the public's safety, the protection of hurt, abused, or neglected animals, and the enforcement of all animal-related laws (both domestic and wild).

The City Pound, which is located at 18719 Gateway Road, is where the animals depicted are currently kept. Before acquiring ownership, we firmly advise owners to see the animals in person.

Our goal is to provide every homeless pet the opportunity to excel at what they do best.

Since its founding, Dogwood Animal Shelter has been supported by volunteers. A few committed individuals generated enough money via sales and auctions to construct a modest structure, and in 1976 the much needed refuge became a 501(c)3.

Since its inception, volunteers have been the heart and soul of Dogwood Animal Shelter. A tiny structure was built by group of committed individuals through sales and auctions, and the desperately needed shelter was incorporated as a 501(c)3 in 1976.
