My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Shyla here! I am an 8-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix. I`m a very active and adventurous girl! I absolutely LOVE playing in the backyard and going on lots of walks. Laying in the sunshine is my favorite place to be! A backyard would be a huge bonus for me in my future home. I would love to be your one and only baby so I can receive all your attention! I promise I have lots of love to give. I enjoy my pals here at the Humane Society, but I am so ready for my forever home! Can you help me find one? People walk by my kennel every day but don`t give me a chance... please meet me outside my kennel, and you`ll see I`m a good girl with a a huge heart!

More about this shelter

The Humane Society of Southwest Missouri is an independent, 501(c)3 non-profit organization incorporated in 1956 and licensed by the Missouri Department of Agriculture. Funding for the organization comes from private donations. We do not receive any funding from any government agencies. We are the largest No Kill shelter in Southwest Missouri. No Kill means we do not believe in euthanizing animals for space, and we are dedicated to finding a home for every animal that comes through our doors.

We receive our animals from people giving up their pets for a variety of reasons, including changes in family situations and moving. Some of our animals have been strays rescued from the streets by a kind citizen. All of our animals are looking for permanent and loving forever homes!
