Iowa

Iowa City Animal Care and Adoption Center -- "... a city -funded shelter where we try to place the animals who overflow the capacity of the Center with rescue organizations. The Center's Director, Misha Goodman, is wonderful, and the animals here are treated very well. They have medical treatment, grooming and many go to obedience school. The dogs are given two scenic walks a day along the Iowa River by loyal volunteers, indoor kennels with beds and toys, large outdoor kennels, too, on a daily basis, as well as play time with other dogs. Unfortunately, we reach capacity and are a low-kill facility, doing everything we can to place dogs into new homes and failing that, with rescue organizations. We have dogs of all breeds; many appear to be purebred and may appeal to people looking for a particular type of dog, and often many senior dogs looking for a loving friend. We have a great website that shows pictures, stats of each dog, and even some movies of them."

Cedar Falls, Iowa -- Agape Fosters is NOT a shelter. They are a small group of foster homes committed to assisting and placing homeless animals into loving, responsible, lifelong homes. Agape Fosters is also committed to educating folks on the need for spay/neuter, regular preventative vet care, where and where not to get a companion animal, and how to choose the animal that is best suited to join your family.
