Nearly 35 years ago, the Webster County Humane Society established its first animal shelter in small building designed to be an auto body shop, a temporary site to be used until a better facility could be found. Today, the homeless animals served by the Humane Society of North Central Iowa are still sheltered there.

At long last, the time has come for a new facility, the Almost Home Adoption and Education Center, which will offer safety, compassion and socialization skills for homeless animals, and offer residents of our area a welcoming place to interact with the animals, learn more about the responsibilities of pet ownership and choose a new forever friend to join their family.
