The team at the Story County Animal Shelter is comprised of dedicated individuals committed to serving the public and safeguarding the well-being of animals. We are proud to operate as a progressive, responsible, No Kill shelter, ensuring every animal receives the respect and care they deserve.
We provide essential animal control and sheltering services for rural Story County and 12 partner cities. By facilitating adoptions and reuniting lost pets with their owners, we strive to create a safer environment for both our residents and their beloved animal companions.
We believe no animal should be lost to a lack of space, time, or resources. Our facility focuses on the rehabilitation and treatment of animals with injuries or illnesses, giving them a second chance at finding a forever home. Through our robust foster program and partnerships with other rescue agencies, we provide the extra love, attention, and medical care necessary to help our animals thrive while they wait for their new families.
Adoption is a joyful partnership, and we are here to help you find the perfect companion. To ensure the best experience for both you and our animals, we utilize an application process that allows our team to facilitate meaningful meet and greets. Our staff members are dedicated to guiding you through every step of this rewarding transition.
Ready to meet your new best friend? We invite you to view our list of adoptable pets or complete an adoption application online to begin the process. If you are interested in giving back, we also welcome inquiries about our volunteer opportunities and foster program to help us continue our mission of hope and healing.
