Friends of the Animals
Our Mission
At Friends of the Animals, our mission is to protect, care for, and find loving, lifelong homes for animals in need. We are dedicated to providing compassionate shelter, quality veterinary care, and a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.
Who We Are
Located in Tipton, Iowa, we serve as one of the only shelters in Cedar County. Our organization is driven by a passionate, small staff and a dedicated network of volunteers who share the goal of protecting the well-being of every animal in our care.
How We Provide Care
We care for animals of all ages and situations, from newborn puppies and kittens to seniors looking for a warm lap. Our approach includes a blend of shelter life and a foster program, where animals receive individual attention in real home environments to help them thrive. Every animal that enters our care receives a full veterinary exam, vaccinations, spay or neuter surgery, and a microchip to prepare them for their future families.
The Joy of Adoption
Adoption is one of the best gifts you can give an animal, and we are committed to finding the perfect match. We believe that thoughtful placement creates a successful, lifelong bond between families and their new companions. Through our foster-to-adopt process, we ensure both the animal and the family have the time they need to adjust and thrive together.
