Souris Valley Animal Shelter

I volunteer here and they always care deeply for the animals. The staff are kind and the animals are well taken care of. I unfortunately haven't adopted from here due to work hours but I would definitely recommend them.

My dog passed yesterday from aggressive cancer/kidney failure, adopted from here exactly 446 weeks ago, or about 8.5 years. I’m hurting so much but thank you for providing me a companion that loved me deeper than I thought possible. Loved our family deeper than I thought possible. The staff at the time (of adoption) was polite and caring, even though he scared everyone due to his size (100+lb of Dane/mastiff). He was beautiful, sweet, gentle, and such a tough boy when it came to health problems later down the road. Always complimented on his manners, size and how handsome he was. Even after experiencing neglect/hardships prior to us, and we had no idea how old he was when he came into our lives on a Valentines day. I don’t know what I would’ve done without him. Thank you for the best 8 yea

My fiancé and I have adopted our two lovable dogs from them. The staff was amazing to work with and answered any questions we had. They are a good local shelter to have here in Minot

I adopted a 5 year old domestic shorthair female from SVAS a few weeks ago. Their service was phenomenal. They worked with us and provided options for anything we needed. In my experience, SVAS goes above and beyond most shelters and adoption agencies I’ve been to. We live 2 hours out of town and were still given plenty of options for fees/questions remotely so we didn’t always have to make the trip. They want to make sure that the pet you choose, is the right pet for you. They will even check-in during the fostering process to make sure you are all set! I know, without a doubt, that SVAS is the place I would go to when I want to make another addition. Thanks to the great team and the awesome work you guys do! *photos of my brand new “water cat” included* 😊

My friends cat got very sick while at this shelter picked up an illness from the other cats. She was their 6-7 days now she has to be put down. My friend can't stop crying
