Great River Rescue transitions dogs and cats to loving homes, serves as a community resource, and advocates for kind, responsible pet care.
You can view our currently adoptable pets on our website, under the services tab. If you are interested in visiting with any of our available pets, you can schedule a visitation appointment through the links on our website. Visitation appointments are scheduled in one hour time blocks. Same day appointments may be made ONLY IF AN APPOINTMENT IS AVAILABLE. If a same day appointment is made, you may visit with animals, but may not adopt on that day. Once we receive your appointment request, we will contact you to confirm the upcoming appointment, and ask any questions we may have about your interest in adopting. At your appointment, GRR staff will guide you through the animal visitation process and set you up with animal introductions for pets that would fit well in your home. If you would like to adopt one of the pets you meet, GRR staff will guide you through the rest of the application process, which includes completing an adoption application. GRR staff will then review your adoption application and approve or deny it. If your application is approved, you are eligible to bring home the pet you applied for the same day.
