Lost Animal Information:
If you have a lost dog in Pottawattamie County, you should contact the Pottawattamie County Animal Shelter at (712) 366-1143. Leave a detailed description of the dog, the area where the dog was lost, your name and phone number where you can be reached.
For your convenience we have made this Lost Pet Flyer available so you may get the word out as soon as possible about your lost pet. We suggest putting a current picture of your lost pet on the flyer.
Adopting a Dog from the County Animal Shelter:
Stray animals picked up by animal control become County property after there are held for 5 days at our shelter. They are then put up for adoption and you may see all our adoptable pets looking for their forever homes on our Pet Finder Web Site.
Adoption Fee:
Adult = $125.00
Puppy (under 6 months) = $150.00
All dogs over 6 months that are adopted from the Shelter are:
- Spayed or Neutered
- Have received all their shots, including a Rabies vaccination
- Have a registered microchip
People who adopt a puppy are given a certificate which is good for spay or neutering, and a rabies vaccination. This certificate is used at a later date, usually when the dog is 4-6 months old.
Also available:
If you are interested in adopting a dog from the Pottawattamie County Animal Shelter please print out our Adoption Application and complete it. You can either mail your application to the Shelter address, fax it (712)-366-0446, or drop it off at the Shelter.
If you would like to come to the shelter and see our adoptable pets, we are open M-F 8 – 12 and by appointment in the afternoons. |
