About Dogwood Animal Shelter:

Volunteers have been the driving force behind Dogwood animal shelter since its beginning.  Through auctions and sales, a handful of dedicated people raised enough money to build a small facility and in 1976, the badly needed shelter was established as a 501(c)3.  It was filled beyond capacity almost immediately.  From the start, Dogwood offered low cost spays and neuters, and since 1997, when the board of directors declared Dogwood a no-kill facility, it has steadily expanded that program.   When the long awaited new shelter facility, located near Osage Beach was built in 2005, a spay/neuter clinic was included so that the surgeries could be done on site.

As the cool weather makes it's way to our area, now's the time to make sure your dock and boat lift at the Lake of the Ozarks are protected from the harsh weather that is right around the corner. A dock de-icer at the Lake of the Ozarks is a great solution to help protect your dock, lift, and boat from ice. Here at Summerset Boat Lifts, we pride ourselves on offering high-quality products - lifts and de-icers - to help better protect your investments! Enjoy the beautiful and festive holiday season!

Dogwood Animal Shelter

Dogwood Animal Shelter is a non-profit, "No-Kill" refuge for the homeless domesticated animals in the Lake of the Ozarks area.  The facility houses 200 of our furry friends that are waiting for that loving family to adopt them.  In addition to animal adoption, their services include low cost spay/neuter, low cost obedience classes, pet ID tags and micro-chipping.  There's no public assistance funding for Dogwood Animal Shelter, so their funding comes mainly from their Thrift Shop.  Other fundraisers throughout the year also help, with Deck the Docks being a huge contribution.  For more information on Dogwood Animal Shelter please visit: http://www.daslakeoftheozarks.com/
