Carver Scott County Humane Society

Through our foster and adoption program, we rescue, house, care for, and re-home unwanted and homeless canine and feline companion animals. Until they are adopted, cats/kittens live in and are adopted from foster homes, our adoption and wellness center or an adoption center at one of our local participating pet supply stores. Dogs live in and are adopted from foster homes. While in our care, all animals receive high-quality veterinary care, including sterilization surgery, food, behavioral support, and other items and services to prepare them for their adoptive homes. We also provide ongoing support, such as resources and advice, to our adopters to ensure they are set up for success from the moment they bring home their new pet.

Fur keeps program supports families in need and their pets by providing them with food, veterinary care, resources, and other services. By helping families, we keep pets at home where they belong and prevent happy, healthy pets from entering the shelter system. Fur keeps is divided into three sub-programs: food shelf support, wilson's emergency fund, and shelter division. Food shelf support: we proudly partner with the community action partnership (cap) of Scott, Carver and dakota counties. Each month we deliver cat and dog food to teh cap-run community food shelf - about 300 pounds each month. We also connect cap clients with other pet-related resources and assistance. Wilson's emergency fund: a generous donor created this fund to help families who face the difficult decision of euthanizing or surrendering a pet who is experiencing an emergency situation. Many families do not havce immediate access to funds to pay for emergency veterinary care. Wilson's emergency fund covers 50% of emergency care provided, up to $1,000. Shelter division: our shelter diversion team helps families find solutions to common pet-related issues. We offer support and resources, including rehoming assistance and basic veterinary care.
