Dent County Animal Welfare Society (DCAWS)
We are a no-kill shelter in rural Salem, MO and the only licensed rescue for dogs and cats in the county.
Our shelter is in Salem, MO -- about 30 minutes south of Rolla. The shelter is open from 1-5 every day. We are currently looking for fundraising ideas to raise money to build a new shelter. We already have land that we own debt-free so we just need to get that shelter up!
We can always use donations as we rely on donations for just about everything! We especially need dog and cat food, cat litter, and monetary donations to help with vet bills.
We bring a van load of dogs and cats to adoption events in St. Louis (at the Brentwood PetSmart) just about every Saturday from 11-5 and some Sundays from 12-5. We also have cats that stay in the cat room at PetSmart. We can always use helpers at the adoption events and we desperately need fosters in the St. Louis area!
