City of Great Falls Animal Shelter
Our Mission
The City of Great Falls Animal Shelter is dedicated to protecting the health, safety, and welfare of our community and its animals through education and responsible pet ownership. We believe that every adoptable animal deserves a loving home, and we work tirelessly to make that happen.
Our Commitment to Care
As the municipal shelter serving the citizens of Great Falls, we provide a compassionate space for stray and abandoned domesticated animals. Behind our statistics is a dedicated team that provides daily care, including feeding, cleaning, medical treatment, and behavioral support. We are proud to share that we do not euthanize domestic animals due to space or length of stay, ensuring each animal receives the care they deserve for the duration of their time with us.
How We Help Animals Thrive
Our facility is designed to be a comfortable temporary home while animals await reunion with their owners or placement in a new family. Through a blend of professional veterinary care, vaccination, and daily enrichment, we focus on the well-being of every pet. We collaborate with rescue partners and our community to ensure every adoptable animal finds a perfect match.
Building Lifelong Bonds
We believe that adoption is the start of a beautiful, joyful partnership. Our team is committed to supporting you through the adoption process, from our thoughtful meet-and-greet appointments to ensuring your new companion is spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. We are here to help you find your new best friend.
Join Our Community
Whether you are ready to adopt, interested in volunteering, or want to support our mission through donations, there are many ways to get involved. Please visit our website to view our current adoptable pets or stop by the shelter during our business hours to meet your future companion. We look forward to connecting with you and making a difference together.
