The Mower County Humane Society is dedicated to providing compassionate care and shelter to homeless dogs and cats from Mower County until they can be placed in responsible forever homes. We strive to reduce pet homelessness by actively promoting, facilitating, and sponsoring spay and neuter activities within our community.
Founded in 1950 and based in Austin, Minnesota, we are a fully independent, all-volunteer, non-profit, no-kill shelter. Our organization relies on the support of our community to continue the important work of advocating for our animal companions.
We believe in creating a safe, comfortable environment for the animals in our care while they wait for their new families. Our facility, located in Austin, features dedicated spaces including a cat wall, colony rooms, a cozy 'catio,' and specialized dog runs. Every animal at our shelter receives vaccinations and spay or neuter services prior to adoption.
We view adoption as the start of a joyful, lifelong partnership, which is why our staff works hard to get to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether you are looking for a high-energy hiking buddy or a calm companion, we help you find the perfect match for your family's lifestyle. We believe that choosing to adopt gives a deserving animal a second chance at the love and stability they deserve.
We are currently scheduling appointments for all adoptions to ensure a personal and focused experience for you and your future pet. Please visit our website to download our adoption application forms and browse the photos and biographies of our available animals. We invite you to join our mission, meet your new best friend, and make a meaningful difference today.
