Woof! Meow! One thing before you go…

Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?

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!

AHeinz57 Pet Rescue & Transport, Inc. is a 501(c)3, non-profit animal welfare organization based in De Soto, Iowa. We are a unique rescue organization in that we exist mainly to bridge the gap between traditional animal shelters and no-kill rescues in 2 different ways: 1) By providing free transportation for dogs and cats from traditional shelters to no-kill rescues all over the Midwest and Canada. We also provide overnight rest stops for our furry travelers and temporary housing for those whose time has run out at the shelters, but have to wait for a foster spot to open up in one of the rescues; 2) By pulling as many dogs out of traditional shelters that are on death row and placing them in foster homes and forever homes thru our organization.

  • 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]

  • Are you still in search of a Dog? I have a mixed breed that loves the water! Greate retriever, very loving and affectionate dog. He is on the larger side about 80 to 85 pounds. We currently live on 13 acres where he is free to roam, But never strays far and always comes in at night to sleep next to us in his bed. I love this dog, But my Job is moving me to Phoenix, I cant see him living in an apt... He would be miserable. So I am looking for a loving family to adopt him

  • Very unprofessional company that does not do a full background check on people wanting to adopt. Instead denied people base on little information, and make conclusions on little information. Horrible communication with people, and don't respond in a timely manner or just don't respond at all. They should be ashamed to call themselves a shelter, because all they do is shelter good pets from loving homes.

  • To Whom it May Concern: I am writing on behalf of my in-laws, who live in Columbia, IA (Marion County). My father-in-law has several heart and lung issues, and my mother-in-law has stage 4 kidney failure. They are needing to move a.s.a.p. for health and safety reasons, but cannot because they have 10-12 indoor cats that need to be surrendered first. This does not include their 8 cats that they keep in their basement. These cats are basically barn cats that get food and water, as well as litter boxes provided, but they do not come inside the main part of the house. As you can imagine, these cats are a product of my in-laws living out in the country. People drop off a cat or two...then before you know it there are kittens. My in-laws have chosen over the years to take the cats in and love them as there own. But now it is time they focus on their own health and quality of life. Not an easy decision, but it is necessary. These indoor cats are very friendly and loving, well behaved, cared for animals. They are all spayed/neutered and are about 7 years old (avg). If you can help in any way, it would be greatly appreciated!! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for your time.
