Waverly Pet Rescue has been in continuous operation since August, 2006. The organization was conceived and is operated by a fifth generation Waverly native with a passion to help homeless animals. Waverly Pet Rescue is an all volunteer, no-kill rescue based in Waverly, Iowa. Our adoptable animals live in loving foster homes. Waverly Pet Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Waverly Pet Rescue primarily serves small towns in northeast Iowa without animal shelters or other means to care for homeless animals. Waverly Pet Rescue animals live in loving volunteer foster homes until adopted… no matter how long that takes. Waverly Pet Rescue finds homes or suitable no-kill placements for approximately 300 homeless cats and dogs each year. During the past eleven years, Waverly Pet Rescue has grown into a network of foster homes, caring veterinarians and other volunteers, each bringing their own skill set and love of animals to the organization. Waverly Pet Rescue operates solely from donations and adoption fees. We do not receive any grants or funding from the communities we serve. Our administrative expenses are minimal, but the veterinary bills for our animals are significant. Each animal is fully vetted before entering a foster home and we always give our animals the care they need…sometimes at great expense. Often, the adoption fee for an animal does not begin to cover the actual cost to Waverly Pet Rescue for that animal’s expenses. Our goal is the find our adoptable animals top quality and only the best forever homes. We have a very extensive and thorough adoption process.
1. Waverly Pet Rescue does not hold pets. If asked for further information, you should provide it as soon as possible or another home meeting all qualifications may be chosen to adopt the pet you want. Please arrange to see the animal you want as soon as possible because again, we do not hold them. 2. We do not adopt on a first come, first served basis. We select the best home. 3. We reserve the right to refuse anyone a pet, for any reason. We are devoted to the animals in our care and do all we can to make sure they are placed in good homes. 4.

All prospective adopters are required to complete the application and interviewing process before adoption approval. 6. No dogs will be adopted if they will be kept strictly outside. Cats will only be adopted if they are to be kept strictly inside. 7. All cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies will be spayed / neutered before they are adopted.
