By definition, the word “solace” means “that which furnishes comfort or consolation.” Coincidentally, SOLAS, although it is spelled differently, provides the same thing for many unwanted dogs, cats, and other animals living in the Council Bluffs/Omaha area. SOLAS was started in 1993 by Mary and Mike Jones and a small, hardworking group of volunteers. The purpose of the group is to assist in the care and placement of the animals from local shelters. We are now a large network of volunteer foster homes who will work diligently for the health, happiness, socialization, and general well-being for all animals. Every animal that is adopted through SOLAS has been vaccinated, micro-chipped, and spay or neutered. We firmly believe it is part of responsible pet ownership to have your pet spayed or neutered. While still in our care, pets are altered so that no more irresponsible (or purposeful) breeding is done by that animal. We believe every animal matters. While we can’t save them all, the ones we do save are appreciative and so are the people who lovingly adopt them and provide them with a “furever” home. The local homeless pet population CAN be corrected with educated citizens, active volunteers/rescues, veterinary clinics who work with rescues, and city officials who are willing to stand up for the animals. SOLAS is a 501(c)3 Not for Profit organization. We are not affiliated with any political organization.
Most of our cats are in foster homes so we ask that you call us at (402) 577-0213 or email us at [email protected] to setup a time to meet them. You can also contact us via Facebook but please be patient with all methods as we are a volunteer run group. The adoption donation is $50 for cats over 6 months old and $75 or 2/$125 for kittens under 6 months. All cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated per their age, dewormed, and microchipped. Once you have reached out to us and made contact, we will supply the adoption application to you. Once filled out, email it or follow provided instructions from your volunteer.

In January 2006, a group of concerned citizens came together to address the growing and unmet animal welfare needs in the Council Bluffs area. Inadequate local animal shelter facilities, city population increases, and a lack of public education had resulted in animal overpopulation and its associated problems. It was unanimously agreed upon that the City’s animal control function alone could not
