About GFAS

The City of Great Falls Animal Shelter (GFAS) is an Open Admission Municipal animal shelter serving the citizens and  domesticated animals of the City of Great Falls.

The Mission of the Shelter is to ensure the health, safety and welfare of the domesticated animals and citizens of our community through education about responsible pet ownership.

We use many resources to re-home every adoptable animal through adoption, rescue partners, and adoption events. By utilizing these resources and with the help of the Great Falls Community we do not euthanize domestic animals due to space or length of stay at the City of Great Falls Animal Shelter. 

The City of Great Falls Police Department handles all Animal Control issues, the GFAS houses and cares for the domestic animals only.
