Save the life of a homeless pet today.
Souris Valley Animal Shelter is a no-kill cat and dog shelter in Minot, North Dakota. We are proud to be a second chance for homeless animals in our community.
Community
We save cats and dogs right here in our community and shelter animals impacted by domestic violence and homelessness through our emergency housing programs. SVAS is the home of the Severson Ahart Community Clinic.
Animal Rescue & Non-Profit Collaborations
We assist other animal rescues within the state of North Dakota by transferring cats and dogs into our care when we have space available. We share resources and excess supplies whenever possible. We have a referral center in our lobby for individuals needing assistance beyond the scope of our mission.
Disaster Relief
We participate in the Ward County Emergency Management plan along side our animal rescue partner, Turtle Mountain Animal Rescue. We have assisted animal affected by natural disasters near and far, such as the Souris River flood and Hurricane Katrina.
