Sweet Scrunch is still looking for his perfect home❤

This big, goofy, and lovable guy is the definition of a gentle giant! Scrunch's favorite spot is leaning right up next to you to wait for rubs and pets. His big, squishy head is just SO adorable, and he is potty-trained! Our staff absolutely love Scrunch, and Scrunch absolutely loves everyone.

Scrunch is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, microchipped, and current on flea, tick, and heartworm preventative. Apply today to adopt this big ol' hunk of love! https://www.storycountyiowa.gov/1486/Adoption-Application

Sunny
Neutered Male
Lab/Golden Retriever Mix
1.5-2 years old

Playful and LARGE! This happy guy could stand to lose a few pounds and learn some more general manners. He does know sit and listens well on a leash! Sunny has done okay with other dogs and cats who know how to stand their ground.

All dogs and puppies come spayed and neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fees are $75.00 for adult dogs and $100.00 for puppies at the time of adoption. Our adoptions are done by approved applications, so you must apply and be approved before being able to meet any of our dogs or puppies. To be approved, you can apply online at: https://www.storycountyiowa.gov/1486/Adoption-Application or you can apply in person. Applications can take a few business days to be approved and you will be emailed with communications regarding your application.

What. A. Glow-Up.

Steve Jawbs came to us as a stray in early October in desperate need of veterinary attention after discovering a severe injury involving his jaw. Our veterinarian tried her hardest to repair the damage, but was unsure if the procedure would even hold long enough to heal. Steve was a FIGHTER, and never showed us signs that he was ever going to give up. Even with an injured jaw he was still eating, drinking, and trying to beg for pets and attention. We are SO happy that Steve's jaw was able to heal 100%, and he is now available for adoption!

Apply today to give Steve Jawbs a loving home at https://www.storycountyiowa.gov/1486/Adoption-Application

Tis the season... it's National Gingerbread Cookie Day! Our kittens have never seen a gingerbread man before, but I'm sure their new homes would be more than happy to show them how to have fun for the holidays (and every season after)!

Story County Animal Shelter

The ongoing mission of Story County Animal Control and Shelter is to humanely and lawfully take care of all animals in our jurisdiction. We strive to be diligent in maintaining our excellent track record of adoptions, and public safety for all residents. We also educate the public on the benefits and need for spaying and neutering animals. We want our newly remodeled animal shelter to not only be a place for animal adoptions, but a place for individuals and families to come and learn about animal safety, care and enriching the lives of the animals.
