Humane Division

The St. Charles County Pet Adoption Center is limiting visitation with animals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Those interested in adoptions or in locating lost pets will need to go through a screening process before interacting with the animals. Please review our available pet photos and photos of recently found pets on our website and make an appointment to visit our facility by calling 636-949-7387.

The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has put together this FAQ (PDF) for pet owners who have concerns about COVID-19 impacting their animals. Additional information is also available on their website.
