PAWS Humane Society

Our Mission

PAWS Humane Society (Floyd County, IA) is dedicated to providing a safe haven for unwanted and abandoned animals while preventing neglect and cruelty. We believe all pets are worth saving and strive to find every animal in our care a loving, permanent home.

Our History

Founded in July 2000, our organization was born out of a community desire to provide second chances to local animals. We are proud to serve as one of the few remaining no-kill shelters in Iowa, ensuring that healthy, adoptable pets are guaranteed the opportunity to find a family.

How We Care

Operating as a 501c3 nonprofit, we provide essential care, vaccinations, and medical exams for every animal that comes through our doors. All residents are spayed or neutered prior to adoption, and we rely on a blend of community support, private donations, and dedicated volunteers to maintain our facility and continue our mission.

Finding Your Perfect Match

Adoption is a lifetime commitment, and our team is here to help you find the companion that best fits your lifestyle and home environment. We encourage prospective adopters to interact with our animals one-on-one, and we are happy to guide you through our application process to ensure a successful, lasting bond for both you and your new furry friend.

Join Us in Making a Difference

Whether you are looking to adopt, volunteer your time, or support our efforts through donations, there are many ways to get involved. We invite you to visit us during our adoption hours or browse our online database to meet our currently available residents who are waiting to meet you!
