Shelter FAQs

We are a non-profit organization that was created to help reduce the stray population in the Tama/Toledo area. Our Board of Directors are strong animal lovers who support reducing the overall pet population through neutering/spaying ALL animals at our expense. This is costly but very much worth it. We want to see our animals happy, healthy, and safe. We are all volunteers & we always need help with computer work, direct animal care, shopping, and cleaning. If you are interested, give us a call or stop in.
We are a no-kill, non-profit animal shelter in Tama, Iowa. We serve Tama County & accept animals from all over, location does not matter. All of our staff are volunteers. There are no paid positions.

Additional adoption info

$20for a cat, $30 for a kitten, $150 for a dog, $200 for puppies. All animals are spayed/neutered before they can be adopted. All vaccinations are given by our vet Dr. Cristi Downs. We require a pre-adoption screening (which can be done through email) and an adoption contract signed the day of the adoption. We do a background vet check and call landlords (if the potential adopters are renting).
