Mission

The Humane Society of Scott County is committed to:

providing humane care and treatment for all animals entrusted to us.

caring and protecting those homeless animals that have been abused, neglected and/or abandoned
educating the communities we serve about responsible pet ownership, the important of spay/neuter and the benefits of pets and pet adoption.

Our Purpose

We provide shelter and care to 7000 lost, abandoned and unwanted animals each year in Scott County, Iowa.

We do not turn away any animals.

We offer a low cost spay and neuter program.

We provide vital information to the public about animal care and safety, pet overpopulation and the importance of spaying and neutering through educational programs we present to schools, civic organizations and other interested parties.

We investigate and take action on neglect, abuse, injured animal and other types of pet matters. We assist the police, sheriff's, fire and health departments.

We offer many volunteering opportunities where teens and adults can help improve the lives of those animals entrusted in our care.

A pet behavior counselor is available to answer questions and help make life with your pet all that it can and should be.

Basic Manners classes are offered to help dogs and their owners learn how to live together with a minimum of stress and lots of fun.
