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.

I trapped a small kitten with a bad sore on the side of it's head this morning (Saturday 8/6/2016) in a pet cage, using catfood to lure it in. This is a wild kitten, that i first saw last night, meowing so I set food and water out inside a small pet cage. I've moved the kitten to a transportable pet carrier, but it is Wild and doesn't like to be touched. The sore on it's head needs to be addressed, with antibiotics and a vet. I Already HAVE enuff cats... and cannot adopt another, sorry. Call me 319-269-6915, and I will drop off this kitten at 113 -8th parkway St. or anywhere else...I Don't want any vet bills, so I won't take it to the vet clinics, unless there is no other way... This kitten needs immediate care...so please help. Thanks, Gary Anderson
I have a 3 yr old spayed female dog, in need of a new home. Black & tan, 100lbs, very strong. S>C>Blockhound. We have moved to town, and the cost to fence in the back yard is too costly.($2600). She is friendly, happy, shots are up to date. She is used to being outside 24/7. Her choice, she will come inside, is housebroken. She will stay inside for a short period of time, but goes to the door to go back out; even when it is extremely cold. She has a good sized dog house and her bench that she sits on and watches. She needs training to "Come". She will run all day if allowed, unfortunately. She is friendly with our cats, neighbor's dog. Lots of energy. Contact Joyce: 319-215-2092
I have a situation where a woman in Aurora passed away and the house was found to be a severe hoarding situation. The exact number of cats is unknown however it is thought to be 5o cats. Fleas and worms are definitely an issue. The home is in the process of being declared condemned and no one is currently living in the home. I need as much help as possible in getting the cats moved out.

Need Help Immediately! I have a mama cat & her 2 kittens & she is pregnant again. She is real friendly & they are all adorable. I live in Evansdale & there is absolutely no place around here that helps in these situations. I have tried every avenue & no place will help. I have been directed by vets as well as BlackHawk County Animal Rescue to contact you & now I know why! You have a great program with your NOKILL policy. Please Help! These cats deserve a chance. We need more people & places for stray animals. Thank You for all you do! 319-529-1885 Kristine
