About this shelter

Poteau Valley Humane Society in Poteau, OK

Poteau Valley Humane Society is an animal shelter in Poteau, Oklahoma, located about 25 miles northeast of Fort Smith, Arkansas. It is licensed by the Oklahoma Forestry to operate as a shelter and is run entirely by volunteers who care for the dogs and cats in its kennels, handling everything from socialization to daily cleaning and feeding. Adoption fees include a portion applied toward spay/neuter services when the pet is age appropriate, with puppies and adult dogs at $100 and kittens and adult cats at $50. The shelter is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM and Saturday and Sunday mornings, and it continues to rely on community donations of pet food, cleaning supplies, and additional volunteers to support its work.
