About Ames Animal Shelter
About Our Animal Shelter and Animal Control The City of Ames, Iowa’s Animal Shelter and Animal Control agency is dedicated to providing compassionate care and support for animals within our community. We operate as a no-kill shelter, rescuing, sheltering, and rehoming animals in need. Our mission is to ensure every animal receives the best possible care while finding them loving forever homes. We are deeply committed to fostering positive relationships between people and animals, promoting responsible pet ownership, and educating residents about animal welfare. We strive to create a safe and welcoming environment for all creatures great and small. Our Commitment to Animal Welfare At the City of Ames Animal Shelter and Animal Control, we prioritize the well-being of our animal population above all else. We operate under strict guidelines ensuring the safety and health of every resident who visits our facility. Our dedicated staff works tirelessly to provide medical care, enrichment activities, and a comfortable environment for animals awaiting adoption or returning home. We believe that every animal deserves a loving family and we are committed to facilitating successful adoptions. Volunteer Opportunities We actively encourage community involvement in supporting our mission. Volunteering offers a wonderful opportunity to directly impact the lives of animals in need. You can assist with various tasks, including walking dogs, socializing cats, assisting with adoption events, and providing support to staff. Our volunteer program is designed to be rewarding and accessible for individuals of all ages and interests. How to Get Involved We welcome your support through donations, fostering, or adopting animals. Donations directly fund our operations, including medical care, food, shelter maintenance, and enrichment programs.
