Boone Area Humane Society – Boone, Iowa | Pet Rescue+

Boone Area Humane Society

Our Mission

The Boone Area Humane Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to the humane treatment of animals. We strive to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals, serving as a compassionate example of excellence in our community.

Our History

Since our founding in 1977, we have held a firm belief that because people domesticated animals, we have a profound responsibility to ensure their welfare. We provide vital animal control services for Boone County and maintain a safe, welcoming shelter for lost, found, and unwanted pets in need of a fresh start.

How We Operate

Following no-kill principles, we provide a safe haven for animals while preparing them for their forever families. Our facility staff and dedicated volunteers work tirelessly to offer medical assessments, vaccinations, and the loving care that every pet deserves while they wait for their new homes.

Your Role in Our Family

We believe that every animal deserves to be part of a loving family, and we are here to help you find your perfect companion. By choosing to adopt, you are not just getting a new friend; you are supporting our vision to increase community involvement and provide a better life for homeless animals in the Boone area.

Join Our Mission

There are many ways to get involved, from visiting our shelter to meet our currently adoptable dogs and cats to joining our volunteer program. We invite you to see our adoptable animals today or reach out to us at our 16th Street location to learn how you can help save a life and create a brighter future for a pet in need.
