Animal Relief Coalition of Iowa

In 2004 the Raccoon Valley Humane Society reorganized from a traditional (kill) shelter and became Iowa's leading no-kill animal welfare organization. In 2017, we changed our name and became a public charity to better serve a wider geographical area. ARC is dedicated to the animal welfare industry's problems by providing "solutions" to pet owners problems. Through programs like our rehabiliation and rehome program, low-cost spaying & neutering, special needs match-up programs, and many others, ARC has been able to keep 65% of the pets in their home by owners who wanted to surrender them to a shelter. Our mission is to eliminate the neglect, abuse and abandonment of companion animals caused by human ignorance, intolerance and indifference. And to celebrate the joys created by the human-animal bond by education and example.
