ABOUT US...

Ozarks Kat and K9 Shelter (OKK9) in Sunrise Beach, Missouri is a charitable 501(c)3, non-profit no-kill shelter that takes in various stray, lost, abandoned, or surrendered dogs and cats. OKK9 relies solely on the proceeds from our thrift store, grants and donations from the public to care for our animals. The thrift store sales and public donations are also the driving force behind our ability to offer a low-cost spay and neuter financial assistance program, which serves and greatly benefits our areas' domestic animal population. We are not city or state funded and all donations are tax deductible. We rescue approximately 500+ dogs and cats per year and help countless others through our community programs. Your donations change the lives of so many animals who would otherwise not have a chance. ​

Our organization was organized in 1986 and incorporated in 1989 under the name Society for the Treatment of Abandoned and Fractured Friends (S.T.A.F.F.). We later made the change to Ozarks Kat and K9 to better reflect what we do and easily identify ourselves as a dog and cat shelter. Although our volunteers and employees are few, they are a mighty and passionate team of individuals. If you or anyone you know is interested in helping us, come to our facilities at 17290 MO Hwy 5 North, Sunrise Beach, MO 65079, just south of the Sunrise Beach/Laurie city limits line, or call us at 573-374-2629.
