Carver-Scott Humane Society
Our Mission
Carver-Scott Humane Society was founded in 1989 with the mission of connecting animals in need with people who care. Our vision is a world where every animal is safe, cared for, and loved.
While we are primarily a foster-based animal rescue, we do have a cat adoption space at our Adoption & Wellness Center in Chaska. We also partner with local retail locations like PetSmart Eden Prairie, Bentley's Pet Stuff in Excelsior and Chuck & Don's Chanhassen to feature adoptable cats at their stores.
Adoption Policy
At the Carver Scott Humane Society, we follow an Adopter's Welcome philosophy. This means that instead of an overwhelming application process, home visits, and hoop jumping, we take a conversational approach to our adoptions. Our goal is to make adoptions possible and help you be a successful pet parent!
Once an application is submitted, we take applications as "first-come, first-considered." While this does not guarantee that the first applicant will adopt the animal of their choice, it does guarantee that we will process the application all the way through before moving on to the next application in line.
If you see an animal you are interested in, please apply as soon as possible! This does not obligate you to the animal in case you change your mind, but may assist in securing your place in line for that animal.
