The Scott and Cheryl Morris Animal Shelter is owned and operated by the The Kearney Area Animal Shelter and supported by donations and earned user fees. A small portion of our operating budget is provided by the City of Kearney and Buffalo County in exchange for housing animals picked up at large or held for court jurisdiction.
