The Northeast Missouri Humane Society is a non-profit charitable organization funded largely by donations.  Our primary purpose is the prevention of cruelty to animal, and toward this end we operate an animal shelter and conduct a variety of events to both find animals loving , permanent homes, and to educate the public about responsible animal ownership.  We welcome the participation of those willing to represent our organization in accordance with our mission and philosophies.

Spay-Neuter Assistance (SNAP) provides spay-neuter opportunities for income-eligible community members at discounted rates. The shelter is currently functioning at maximum capacity, indicating a glaring need for feral population reduction in the region. This program encourages pet-owners to apply for spay-neuter financial assistance to help reduce feral cat and dog populations in our area. Since the implementation of the service/program, the shelter has assisted 20-30 owners annually with spay-neuter costs only when limited funding is available. We hope to increase our program efforts and impact as we prepare to move into a new facility.

SPAY-NEUTER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

When people are experiencing life changes and challenges such poverty, illness, lack of affordable veterinary care, and pet-friendly housing shortages, having a pet can add an extra layer of complexity and concern. Pet parents in these situations often feel that they have no other option but to surrender their beloved pets to local animal welfare organizations. But with the help of this new grant, Northeast Missouri Humane Society is committed to offering solutions that will help pets to stay within their loving homes and families. Community members-in- need simply apply to qualify for the Paw-Up Pet Retention Program for partial or full assistance with veterinary/medical expenses, housing deposits, emergency boarding fees, and food costs. NEMO Humane Society hopes to help around 300 pets in staying with their pet parents by offsetting some of the cost-burden of pet ownership—saving MO paws by lending a Paw-Up.
