Spay/Neuter Financial Assistance
One of the missions of PHS is to reduce the number of unwanted animals.  We achieve this is by helping with the cost of spaying and neutering family pets.  If you would like assistance with the cost of spaying and neutering your pet, an application can be picked up at the shelter.

Free Housing For Dove's Residents
The PHS understands how important the well being of our companion animals can be to those living in an abusive home.  We offer free housing for those needing a place to board their pets for a short period of time.  (If room is available.)

Pet Therapy For Local Retirement Centers
Pet therapy is very important to the well being of people.  Being able to pet a companion animal lowers blood pressure and heart rate.  This is why PHS visits many assisted living centers each month.  If this is a program that would benefit your group. Please give us a call for available dates.

Lost and Found Program
The Shelter maintains a data base of lost and found animals.  This data base can get very large at times, so it is the recommendation of Shelter Employees for you to check out the strays entering the shelter every two to three days.  There's no one better then you to recognize your animal.  So please stop in often to see if your companion may have come in.  (Never give up hope)

Group Tours
PHS offers educational tours of our facility.  These tours help teach the public not only what we do at PHS, but also the importance of spaying and neutering to help prevent the number of unwanted pets that come through our doors.  If this is something that your group would like to learn about, contact us for available times.

Educational Programs
In addition to group tours, we make visits to local schools (and Libraries) with our therapy dog "Boots" who absolutely loves attention and treats.  We help teach kids about how to care for a dog and many, many other things.  If you would like Boots and a PHS representative to visit your classroom (or Library), contact us for available times.

Educational Information
The Panhandle Humane Society has a wide range of educational information ranging from how to be safe with pets to pet diseases.  If there is something you have questions on concerning the health and well being of your pet or even how to housebreak your new puppy, please stop by the PHS today and get the information you need.

Animal Licensing
Did you know that in the cities of Scottsbluff, Gering, and Terrytown that it is a city ordinance that your pets have a current rabies vaccination and a city license?  City licenses are not only a city ordinance, but they also help the staff at PHS to reunite you with your pet faster.  They are available at PHS, Midtown Animal Hospital, Pioneer Animal Clinic, and Animal Health Center.  Your pet must have a current rabies vaccination to get one, and if your pet is spayed or neutered, it is $5.00 for one year and if your pet is not spayed or neutered, the city license is $10.00 for one year.

General and Private Cremations
Here at the PHS, we know how important a companion animal can be and how much a part of the family they become.  We also know the pain that the loss of a companion animal can cause.  We offer cremation services at this difficult time.  A private cremation is done completely by itself so that you get only your pets remains back.  The cost of this service depends on what your pet weighs.  For a dog less than 50 lbs., the cost is $55.00 plus tax.  For a dog that weighs 50 to 85 lbs., the cost is $80.00 plus tax.  For a dog that weighs 85 lbs. to 100 lbs.it costs $100.00 plus tax for a private cremation over 100 lbs. $150.00.  If it is a cat that needs to be cremated, it costs $40.00 plus tax.  We also offer a general cremation for those that don't want their pets' remains back.  The cost for this ranges from $35.00  to $50.00 for a dog, and $15.00 for a cat.  If these are services that you need, please contact us.

Euthanasia Services
We also offer euthanasia services here at the PHS.  The cost for this service is $20.00 plus tax.  We euthanize animals with gas (carbon monoxide), so you will not be able to be with your pet as it goes to sleep.  It is very humane, and doesn't hurt your pet.  The employees at the PHS realize that this is a difficult time for you and your family and offer our condolences.

Foster Care Program
The Panhandle Humane Society now has a foster care program.  This program helps to relieve the congestion of animals here at the shelter.  It also helps anyone one who is looking for a pet to know if this is really the pet that they want.  Here at the PHS, it is important to us that these animals find good, loving homes and that the pets are compatible with their new homes and everyone in them.  If this is something you are interested in, stop at the shelter and fill out an application.
