Shelter FAQs
Dogs Forever Safe Place is an Adoption Guarantee shelter where volunteers care for homeless dogs who need a second chance for a better life.
Some of our dogs come from kill shelters where they were at risk of being euthanized or from other Iowa counties that have no animal shelter.
Dogs Forever provides a refuge, a sanctuary, until the Adoption Committee finds their forever home.
