Welcome to the home of the Animal Welfare Alliance of Southeast Missouri


The purpose of the Poplar Bluff-based organization is to foster a spirit of cooperation among all public and private animal care organizations and agencies in the area, to encourage and support the adoption, neutering and spaying of pets and to seek shelter for abandoned animals.


We just celebrated our anniversary and are excited to announce our Building Fund Capital Campaign, aimed at raising $300,000 to pay off the building we have been renting from Hillcrest Animal Hospital.

As we enter the second year of operations at the shelter, we have the incredible opportunity to secure a permanent home for the Animal Welfare Alliance.

This endeavor will not only provide us with a stable foundation for our operations but also ensure the sustainability and growth of our organization for years to come.

Together we can make a profound impact on the lives of animals in our community and create a legacy of compassion and care.
