FYI - if anyone has plastic grocery sacks, we are running low and could use some! Thank you in advance 😁 They can be dropped off during open hours on Saturdays from noon to 3pm, or from 5 - 6pm, M - F. If those times don't work, feel free to call the shelter & leave a message & someone will call you back to set up a time. Thanks! 515-386-2340

And another huge Thank You to whoever donated the 2 big bags of dog food from Chewy (last week, I believe) and whoever left the donations by the door today:) I was running a couple minutes late, but the food will be used and the beds & blankets were adorable!🥰

Dewey getting some exercise & play time during open hours! He is available for adoption, loves people and dogs, but can be a bit ornery to other cats😜 He's about 5 years old and very obviously still a very playful and happy dude!🥰

OWNER FOUND & happily returned!
This male dog showed up on a farm west of Churdan, IA. If he's yours, or you may know his owner, please call 515-386-2340. He's safe for now, and not at PAWS. Thanks!
