Creston Animal Rescue Effort

Creston Animal Rescue Effort Creston Animal Rescue Effort finds homes for stray and abandoned animals at the Creston City Pound. After this time they become available for adoption.

The Creston City Pound is a holding facility for stray/abandoned animals within Creston City limits. Animals are held for 7-10 days to give owners time to claim their pets. Here is where a dedicated group of volunteers come in. Since 1998 Creston Animal Rescue Effort (CARE) has helped to get these pets adopted into new homes. We publish their photos in the local paper, hang flyers around the commu

nity, update our website and Facebook, host fundraisers and supply the pets with treats, vet care and love. Please be patient, ALL our work is done by volunteers who have full-time jobs and families. When calling please speak clearly and leave a phone number. You may also email CARE at [email protected] or message us on Facebook Animals. CARE relies solely on donations and fundraisers. The City purchases the pet food and maintains the utilities at the pound but all vet care, spay and neuter promotions, adoption ads and flyers, treats, toys and transportation to other shelters is paid for by Creston Animal Rescue Effort. Please help us help them by sending a donation today! Mail donations to C.A.R.E., 304 W. DeVoe, Creston, Iowa 50801. ** Note: this is NOT the facility address, it is for mailing donations only.
