Calhoun County Canine Shelter

501(c)(3) non-profit The Animal Rescue of Carroll, Inc. was established in 2006. With a focus on adoption, education, cruelty prevention, spay and neuter programs, and reuniting lost pets with their owners, Animal Rescue of Carroll will operate a dog and cat shelter for serving and caring for lost, unwanted, or homeless dogs and cats.

We serve North Central Iowa as a limited intake ("no-kill") facility. We support the necessity of pet spaying and neutering as well as humane education. Neither the state nor the city give money to our group.

The Moffitt Animal Shelter exists to provide a temporary haven and shelter for stray, abandoned, and neglected animals. It also promotes humane treatment of dogs and cats through education and is a strong proponent of pet population control.

A nonprofit dedicated to the humane treatment of animals is the Boone Area Humane Society.

Education about animal welfare develops knowledge, comprehension, abilities, skills, attitudes, and values related to human involvement in animal welfare.

While owners are being sought, homeless, unwanted, lost, injured, and many other animals can be cared for in a safe and humane environment at the Ames Animal Shelter.
