Iowa City Animal Care and Adoption Center
Our Mission
At the Iowa City Animal Care and Adoption Center, we are dedicated to seeking health, comfort, freedom from fear, and a loving guardian for every companion animal. We strive to create meaningful connections that brighten the lives of both pets and the families who welcome them home.
Serving Our Community
We proudly provide essential sheltering services for the City of Iowa City, Coralville, University Heights, the University of Iowa, and unincorporated Johnson County. Our center acts as a hub of compassion, addressing the needs of stray and surrendered animals while offering vital resources like licensing, pet permit assistance, and animal-related education to our local residents.
How We Care
Our facility operates as a professional, dedicated environment where animals receive consistent care and support. We utilize a blend of specialized animal services, a robust volunteer program, and a foster care network to ensure every animal feels secure during their stay with us. From providing medical oversight to ensuring social needs are met, our team works daily to maintain a safe, welcoming space for all our residents.
Connecting You with a New Best Friend
We believe that finding the perfect match is a joyful partnership. To ensure the best outcome for everyone, we use an application process that helps us understand your needs and ensures every pet finds a compatible, lifelong home. Our staff is here to guide you through this process, from your initial visit to that final, exciting day when you bring your new family member home.
Take the Next Step
