It operates the largest No Kill shelter in Southwest Missouri, functioning as an independent 501(c)3 non-profit licensed by the Missouri Department of Agriculture and funded entirely through private donations rather than government agencies or national humane organizations. The shelter rescues dogs and cats and works to find them loving adoptive homes, and it also houses the Cooper Clinic, a low-cost veterinary wellness clinic that has helped thousands of local animals. It's open Monday through Saturday from 12:00–6:00 PM and Sunday from 12:00–5:00 PM.
