Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

Lost pet, Rascal is a terrier Fiest And Shih Zhu mix. She's 3.5 yrs old. Disappeared on my wedding anniversary on September 10th 2021. Last seen on Merle Hay Rd Des Moines and also Urbandale IA. She was lost in West Des Moines. She's got bright pink tye dye collar. She's got a hernia belly button
She's got tanish red fur or golden type color with smokey Grey on ears and tail and a little bit by her mouth. If you see her contact me at 515 718 0164. Thank you.
Free cat. Casey is 9 years old gold tabby. He is the most loving cat you will ever have but he has begun vomiting occasionally. We have taken him to the vet and the vet says he's healthy. "Some cats just vomit." I am tired of cleaning our carpet. We have switched him to wet food (morning and night) and that has helped but has not stopped it completely.
He is neutered and declawed on all 4 paws. Just had his yearly vaccinations done. Loves all people and is amazing with kids.
Please help me find a good home for him. Will deliver to Des Moines and surrounding area. Email or call Debbie at (515) 360-2991.
Hi -
Our parents recently passed away leaving behind a house cat. Lucky is a 14 yr old neutered male, fully declawed (4), current on rabies vaccinations and is in good health. He has short black hair and is litter box trained. We are hoping to find a home that can love him the remainder of his years.
Please contact me if you can take him or may know of someone who would. We are running out of options.
Thank you,
[email protected]
