Oswego City Animal Shelter

Call Directions

Oswego City Animal Shelter We are a municipal Shelter and Animal Control office. We serve the City of Oswego. We are not affiliated with the Oswego County Humane Society, or the SPCA.

We are Animal Control/law enforcement for the City of Oswego. To adopt a pet you must fill out an adoption application to be approved by our staff. There is a 24-48 hour wait on all adoptions to give us a chance to review your application and give you a chance to think about the commitment of owning a pet. (Some waits may be longer.) Once approved, an appointment will be made for meet and greets. Adopted pets may not be given as gifts, outside of the household. Adoption fee for dogs = $200 cash/check *Licensing fee may also apply. Adoption fee for cats = $100 cash/check
ALL pets come vaccinated, altered (spay/neuter), microchipped, defleaed/dewormed. Our cat wing may be visited during open Shelter hours, normally 12-4pm Mon.-Fri. We DO NOT have a walk through dog kennel due to public safety reasons. Adoptable dogs will be brought out to meet you with application approval and upon appointment time. The Shelter is closed on holidays and weekends. Appointments for those with approved applications may be specially made on weekends. Please direct any questions regarding applications to the staff by calling the shelter. We do not have access to applications from our page. Thanks!

Dexter is 9 years old, and just like Dee Dee, we have no idea what breed he is! He does look like a big dog but he is only 27lbs!

He may not have double rear dewclaws like Dee Dee, but he sure does have some impressive eyebrows! 🤨😂

He’s a total sweetheart who gets along great with other dogs! 🥰 This sweet senior deserves a loving home to spend his golden years in. Come meet Dexter and give him a chance!

💕 Meet Dee Dee! 💕

Dee Dee is 10 years old, and as far as her breed goes, your guess is as good as ours! 😂 She’s great with other dogs and is just as sweet as can be, she will need to be cat tested 🥰 Dee Dee is a petite lady at just 30lbs!

She also has something pretty unique… double rear dewclaws! 🐾 You’ll have to come see them in person!

Dee Dee is already spayed and ready to head home with her new family! ❤️ Come meet this sweet senior girl!

We couldn't be happier to announce that Gemma found her forever home! She couldn't have found a more loving and perfect family that will spoil her for the rest of her years! Thank you so much for adopting her and giving a very generous donation that will go towards helping our animals further!

Our hearts are heavy today as we learned of the passing of our sweet Ava, formerly Meekah. Ava came to us just before Christmas of 2018, she joined our crew as a sweet, little pudgeball. Her favorite things were toys, your lap, and belly rubs. Upon first meeting, Ava would immediately roll over presenting her adorable jelly belly. Ava loved her blankets always nesting in them and somehow managing to end up underneath them. Snuggly was her middle name. We thank her family for giving her a wonderfully spoiled life full of love. The second chance you provided her will never be forgotten. Our hearts go out to you all. Run free, little Ava. Your boingy ears and warm cuddles will be remembered always. ❤️💔🐾

Meet our newest addition to the adoption floor "Sadie"
She's our sweet little 7 month old that ADORES attention from her humans. We don't know how she ended up on the streets with no home but we are so happy to see her opening up and becoming a great cat.
She still needs to be cat and dog tested, but all her vaccines, spay and microchipping are done.
If she seems like she'd be a great addition to your family don't hesitate to fill out an application with us!

🚨 HOW IS GABBY STILL HERE?! 🚨

Seriously, what more could someone want in a dog?!

Gabby is DOG AND CAT FRIENDLY! She’s so tolerant of other dogs that she doesn’t even mind when they all dog pile on top of her! 😂❤️

She loves snuggles, gives the cutest little woo woos, and just wants someone to love her. Shes not sure how she feels about her pup cup from Burger King though!

Yet somehow, she’s STILL sitting in a shelter waiting for a family. 💔

PLEASE SHARE GABBY! This sweet girl deserves a home, not another day wondering when it’s finally going to be her turn. 🐾❤️

Our sweet Mama Toothless is still here. 💔 She’s been with us for over a year now, and we would love nothing more than to see her finally find a home.

She’s the proud mama of Drago and Hiccup, who are also in our adoption wing. 🐈‍⬛❤️ Toothless needs to be the only kitty in her forever home.

She’s so happy for Vera, who recently found her forever home after spending over a year at the shelter too! Now we’re just hoping Toothless gets her happy ending next. 🥺❤️

Over a year of waiting. Please help us make sure she doesn’t have to wait another. 🐾
