Stover Animal Rescue (SAR) is dedicated to providing a safe, clean, and healthy environment for needy pets while striving to set the standard for compassionate treatment through rescue, training, and education. We believe every animal deserves a chance to thrive as they wait for their forever family.
Founded in 2005 by lifelong animal advocate Carol Sue Weigel, our organization serves as a rural, no-kill nonprofit in central Missouri. We take in stray, abandoned, and abused animals as space and resources allow, working tirelessly to ensure they receive high-quality care.
As a 501(c)3 nonprofit, we are powered entirely by the hard work of our dedicated volunteers. We operate without governmental support, relying instead on the generosity of the community through donations, sponsorships, and the success of our Thrift Store. We also proudly partner with other animal advocacy groups to expand our reach and help pets find the best possible outcomes.
We are committed to finding the perfect, lasting connection between our pets and their new families. Our thoughtful adoption process, which includes a personal interview and careful compatibility review, ensures that each animal is placed in a home tailored to their unique personality and needs. We focus on transparency and partnership to ensure that every adoption is a success for both you and your new companion.
Whether you are looking to adopt, foster, volunteer, or shop at our thrift store, there are many ways to make a difference. We invite you to visit our website to browse our currently available pets or reach out to us at (573) 377-4355 to learn more about joining our community of heroes.
