Rock Island County Animal Care & Control - Moline Pet Shelter

Rock Island County has joined efforts with officials from the cities of East Moline, Moline and Rock Island to build a new Animal Shelter. The new shelter, located at the intersection of Route 150 and Indian Bluff Road (78th Ave), near the Quad City Airport opened in January 2006. The new shelter is a state of the art facility, offering nearly 100 indoor/outdoor dog runs and an open, cageless cat adoption room. In addition there is a medical suite for surgery, clinic and isolation procedures. Function and economics were top considerations in the design of the shelter in order to create a facility that would be both efficient and cost effective. A major element of the facility is a new Geo-thermal heating system which offers a far superior alternative to gas furnaces and air. The new location offers easy access to the community, is open seven (7) days a week, and provides a home for the thousands of animals that will be entrusted to our care. This is the first and only full service Animal Care & Control facility in the Illinois Quad Cities.

Adoption Process

Every adoptable pet can provide you with boundless love and companionship, and every pet certainly deserves a lifelong home. But some pets are better for you and your lifestyle than others. That's why you should take the time to make a thoughtful choice. After all, you're choosing a pet that is likely to be with you for ten (10) to fifteen (15) years - or longer. Select the right pet, and you and your new companion will enjoy those years to the fullest. First become knowledgeable about what kind of animal you want and what it takes to be a responsible pet caregiver. You should be willing to spend at least an hour or two (2) looking at our adoptable pets. If you find a pet that interests you, spend some time getting acquainted before making your final decision. Once you've decided on a pet and are ready to adopt, simply complete the adoption and registration process, pay the adoption fee and you and your new best friend are on your way!
