The Iowa County Humane Society is a non-profit, tax exempt organization founded on the principle of maintaining a no-kill philosophy towards animal sheltering. We are dedicated to making our communities more humane places for all animals by providing shelter and care to animals in need, helping our communities discover and nurture the human-animal bond through education, being a voice for those who have none through animal welfare advocacy and working towards a world where every animal has a loving home through progressive and innovative programs. We believe that all animals deserve a chance for a loving home for life.

Every effort will be made to approve an application as soon as possible but some applications may take longer to be processed. We recommend viewing the available animals on our website so we are able to answer any questions that you may have. It is important to be sure that the particular animal you have in mind is right for you and your family. 2. After your application is processed, one of our staff members will call you to answer any immediate questions you may have and set up a time to meet our adoptable animals.
