St. Louis County Animal Shelter

Having a pet is one of life's great pleasures and treats. It's also a long term responsiblity to give your pet daily care, food, shelter...and above all love. St. Louis County Shelter is a fabulous facility located just past I-170 on Ladue Road. If your going east on Ladue Road within a block of passing I-170 there will be a green street sign telling you to turn for their facility. They are located at 4100 Seven Hills Drive and their number is (314) 831-6500. Their hours of operation are 8:00-5:30 Monday through Friday and 8:00-noon on Saturday. They are closed Sundays and Holidays. Many animals would otherwise be euthanized due to over-population and limited resources for keeping them. You can adopt one of their dogs for a $40.00 fee. We checked out their place a couple of weeks ago and saw some incredible good looking dogs. As a means of population control, neutering is required for all adopted pets. Some of their dogs have been neutered or spayed and won't require this surgery.They will require you to give them the name of the vet office where you would like to have your new pet spayed or neutered and they will drive the pet to the vet after you purchase it on the day of the surgery for you to then pick up. We found the staff extremely friendly. It's a great place to adopt dogs.
