Mission Statement
We are a no-kill shelter that cares for approximately 55 dogs and 65 cats daily. We are funded solely by donations and receive no funding from the city, county, state, or federal governments.
About This Cause
We are a limited in-take or no-kill shelter that has been in Fort Dodge for over 30 years. We operate solely on the generosity of our donors. On a daily basis, we care for approximately 120 animals and each one of them stays here until their forever homes is found. We have 4 full time and 6 part time staff and hundreds of volunteers that spend their precious time with the animals helping make their stay with us as enjoyable as possible. We work with the local pound and other rescues to bring in animals that are in desperate need of a new home. We also take care of the animals that had a family, but unforeseen circumstances caused them to no longer be able to care for their animals. Each animal adopted from us must be spayed or neutered within 30 days of adoption (if not done previous to the adoption) to help control the pet overpopulation. We educate our community on responsible pet ownership and teach children the proper way to care for a pet and the proper way to meet a new pet. We have several fundraisers every year from a cookie bake sale to a huge Fur Ball. These fundraisers help to meet our operating budget, while bringing the community together for such a great cause!
