We’re Opening June 1…But You Need a Reservation!

May 31, 2021

The health and safety of our pets, staff, volunteers, and customers always our top priority. We are thrilled to be open to the public once again, and ask that you please review our new guidelines for your visit.

Please see below for the latest updates from HSMO, Longmeadow Rescue Ranch, and the Animal Medical Center of Mid-America.


Longmeadow Rescue Ranch

Longmeadow is open during its regular hours, Friday and Saturdays from 10 am to 3 pm, but you need a reservation to visit us.

Adoption Centers

Our HSMO and Best Buddy shelters are open during our normal business hours, but visitors are required to make a reservation to visit. This will help assure each visitor gets the time needed to find and spend time with their potential new furever friend, while allowing for social distancing within our facility. Masks are required within our facilities.

Animal Intake

Due to the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, we must ensure that we are adhering to the social distancing guidelines and that we have the opportunity to know as much as possible about each animal coming to our facility while serving the people and animals in our community in this difficult time. Intake of stray and surrendered animals will take place by appointment only.
