Animal Control
Once you have decided you would like to adopt an animal from us an adoption request form must be submitted. These can be filled out in person or online. Our hours of operation are from 12 pm - 4 pm extending to 11 am on Tuesday through Fridays. Please note that we are closed on weekends and holidays for walk-ins. To safeguard the well-being and contentment of our adoptable animals, access to the dog area is restricted, whereas the cat area is open for viewing only. In order to interact with any animals that you may be interested in your application must be received and approved. A staff member will reach out to you by email or phone to schedule an appointment for a meet and greet and adoption.

If you witness suspected neglect or cruelty to animals, call your local animal control agency as soon as possible. If you're unfamiliar with local organizations, reach out to your local law enforcement. Be sure to document the case as well as you are able with dates, times, and specific details. All of these things can help appropriate agencies during any investigation they may do of the suspected cruelty. You can reach Story County Animal Control at 515-382-3338.

Make sure your pet is tagged or chipped. Take immediate action and don't wait for the pet to return home. Familiarize yourself with specific information about the physical characteristics of your pet like color, patterns, weight and sex. Contact local humane societies with a description of your lost pet and a phone number to contact you. Blanket the area the pet went missing with flyers. Use social media like Facebook and Twitter, and contact local radio stations.Animal Control
