Marion County Humane Society
Our Mission
The Marion County Humane Society is dedicated to humanely caring for homeless pets, reuniting lost animals with their owners, and finding loving new homes for those in need. We are committed to educating the public about responsible pet ownership and the vital importance of spaying and neutering.
Our History and Community
Since our founding in 1986, we have proudly served the animals of Marion County, Iowa. Over these decades, we have remained a steady resource for the community, providing shelter to stray, lost, or abandoned cats and dogs until they can safely return home or join a new family.
How We Help
Operating from our facility in Knoxville, we offer a welcoming environment where our dedicated staff and volunteers provide essential care, including veterinary services, vaccines, and daily attention. While our focus is on providing shelter, our team works tirelessly to walk, socialize, and care for every animal, ensuring they feel safe and loved while awaiting their next chapter.
Your Adoption Journey
We believe that successful adoptions are built on a deep bond between a pet and their person. Our team is here to support you in finding the perfect companion, offering opportunities to meet our animals and even providing guidance on introducing a new pet to your existing household. We ensure each animal is altered prior to adoption, contributing to a healthier pet population and a brighter future for all our furry friends.

Whether you are ready to adopt, interested in volunteering your time, or looking to support our mission through donations, we would love to connect with you.
