Minot's city council rejected a shelter contract over transparency and representation concerns, but both sides vow to maintain animal care.
The Minot City Council rejected a renegotiated contract with Souris Valley Animal Shelter (SVAS) on January 23, 2026, citing concerns over financial transparency and board representation, despite SVAS stating it met all obligations and maintained full accountability.
The shelter, which operates under a fee-for-service model without city funding or donations, will continue providing pound services through February 28 while the city prepares a new request for proposals.
Both parties affirmed their commitment to animal welfare, with SVAS pledging to care for any animals during the transition.
