Faithful Friends Animal Advocates is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, no-kill animal shelter dedicated to providing compassionate care and second chances for animals who need them most. We act as a voice for the welfare of animals in our community through public education, the re-homing of lost or abandoned pets, and the operation of a facility that promotes lifelong, caring homes.
Founded in 2008 by a group of dedicated individuals, our organization serves Newton and McDonald counties in southwest Missouri. We take pride in our history of service, which culminated in the 2015 construction and opening of our dedicated Adoption Center in Neosho. Our team remains deeply committed to tackling local animal welfare challenges through our time, talents, and community-focused efforts.
As a no-kill shelter, we provide a safe, nurturing environment for dogs and cats awaiting their forever families. We are transparent about our operations: we rely on the generous support of our community, volunteers, and our Faithful Friends Thrift Store to maintain the high standard of care our residents deserve. Every animal in our care receives essential veterinary attention, including spaying or neutering, vaccinations, and microchipping, ensuring they are healthy and ready to join your family.
Adopting a rescue pet is a priceless experience that transforms lives, both for the animal and the person who welcomes them home. We believe in the power of thoughtful matching and work closely with every prospective owner to ensure a successful, lasting connection. Our team is here to support you in finding the perfect companion who will bring joy and companionship to your life.
We invite you to experience the rewarding journey of rescue by meeting our adoptable pets. Whether you are ready to adopt, interested in volunteering at our shelter or thrift store, or looking to support us through a donation, you are making a meaningful difference. Visit our Adoption Center or contact us today to learn how you can get involved.
