Story County Animal Shelter

The Story County Animal Shelter is located just outside Nevada on Lincoln Highway at 975 W Lincoln Highway.

Public Hours: Mondays noon-4pm, Tuesdays thru Fridays 11am-4pm, closed weekends and holidays

The Shelter currently is being remodeled.  Everyone at the shelter (including all of our friends staying here) are excited to see the upcoming changes.  We apologize for the mess during this time, however, we guarantee it will be worth it.
