Please make sure your animal has tags so that if it does end up here we can call you. That would eliminate the number of animals we end up trying to find homes for. The City of Sturgis and Meade County require all animals to be vaccinated against rabies.
AdoptionWe have a number of cats and dogs up for adoption; they are very nice animals and need good homes. We pride ourselves in offering healthy, happy pets at the Sturgis Animal Shelter.
Wild CrittersDid you know that Sturgis plays host to a huge variety of wild animals, including woodchucks, prairie dogs, squirrels, rabbits, deer, porcupines, badgers, raccoons, skunks, and all sorts of other animals? Most wild animals will leave an area as soon as they realize they are sharing it with a human, so if you are witness to a wild critter in your back yard, don't confront it, just wait and it'll go away. If you see a mountain lion in your yard, call law enforcement immediately!
