Furry Friends Refuge
Our Mission
Furry Friends Refuge is a dedicated nonprofit organization serving the animals of central Iowa. We are compassionate people who care about animals and promote animal welfare through education and the celebration of the human-animal bond.
Building Humane Communities
We take pride in having created the first no-kill community in the Des Moines metro area. Our organization works tirelessly to build a safety net for animals in need by providing adoptions, affordable spay and neuter services, and essential community outreach.
How We Provide Care
Our operations rely on a blend of shelter-based resources and a robust network of foster families who provide loving temporary homes for our animals. By partnering with local organizations and maintaining a community spay clinic, we ensure that every animal receives the medical attention and compassion they deserve while awaiting their forever home.
Finding Your Perfect Companion
We believe that every adoption is the beginning of a beautiful, joyful partnership. Our team is committed to helping you find the best animal for your family, providing guidance and support to ensure a successful transition. Whether you are looking for a playful kitten or a seasoned canine friend, we are here to facilitate a thoughtful, long-lasting match.
Get Involved
Are you ready to change a life? We invite you to explore our available pets online, visit our adoption center, or join our community of volunteers and foster homes. Together, we can continue to provide a safe, loving future for animals in need.
