Raccoon River Pet Rescue is dedicated to finding loving and permanent homes for animals in our care. Our mission is to provide safe shelter for pets, strengthen the human-animal bond, and prevent the overpopulation of pets in Perry and our surrounding communities.
We were created with a clear vision to serve as a safe and humane sanctuary for dogs and cats. Through the ongoing generosity of our supporters, we strive to build a facility that fosters meaningful connections between animals and the people who love them.
We operate as a community-focused resource where volunteerism, fostering, and adoption opportunities come together to create a brighter future for pets. Our foster program plays a vital role by providing a temporary, safe home environment for animals that need special attention or a break from the shelter. Every pet in our care receives essential medical attention, including being spayed or neutered, microchipped, and kept up-to-date on vaccinations.
We believe that every adoption is the beginning of a beautiful partnership, which is why we focus on thoughtful matching to ensure the best fit for every family and pet. Our verification process helps us learn more about your lifestyle so we can set everyone up for long-term success. We are here to support you through every step of the journey, from your first introduction to welcoming your new companion home.
Are you ready to find your new best friend? We invite you to browse our current list of adoptable pets or complete an online application to get the conversation started. If you are not ready to adopt, you can still make a difference by volunteering your time, becoming a foster family, or supporting our ongoing wish lists.
