South Utah Valley Animal Shelter serves the communities and animals of southern Utah County; Elk Ridge, Mapleton, Payson, Provo, Salem, Santaquin, Spanish Fork, Springville, and Woodland Hills.
We try to reunite lost animals with their owners. For dogs, cats, and other animals that are not reclaimed, we work to find them homes through our adoption program and by partnering with local rescues.

COVID – 19 Intake and Changes for the Public
If missing a pet:
-
Walkthrough appointments if there hasn’t been any symptoms of illness or possible exposure.
-
Check the website (suvas.org) lost and found photos for pets if there has been exposure or illness. If the pet is on the website, we can do a redemption by phone and email and arrange a pickup time where we will bring the pet to the vehicle.

Found Pets:
We are attempting to only bring in emergency intake animals and are looking to have the public’s help to get the animals home before they come to the shelter.
-
Ask finder if they are able to hold onto the animal for a while to try to find the owner. We are taking down their contact information and asking to be sent a photo, description, and contact information for the finder by email or Facebook messenger to the South Utah Valley Animal Shelter Facebook page.
-
If someone is setting cat traps, we are asking them to not set any more traps for the time being. If they already have one in a trap, we will take it.
-
If someone has found neonatal kittens without a mother, we are asking them to leave the kittens. If a mother cat had abandoned them, they wouldn’t live long.
Owner Release Pets:
-
We are currently only taking in emergency case owner release pets right now.
-
Some examples are if the owner has died, owner is now homeless, the pet needs medical treatment that can’t be provided, or the animal is showing aggression (these pets will be euthanized).
-
Adoptions
-
We are not currently doing adoptions.
