Agape Fosters Our mission is to financially assist getting as many pets and street cats fixed. Message for help. In 2023 We are taking few animals in at this time.

If it’s a small, friendly canine we will highly consider those. We are maintaining the care of the ones here that have never been adopted and doing community outreach, helping with the costs to spay and neuter Pitties and Street Kitties and those who are struggling with the costs to fix their pets. You can message us to see if we can help in Iowa or outside if we can help with legitimate costs, we

will. Not all orgs are reputable, be careful who you contact or take animals to of any specie. We are licensed in good standing in the State. Have a very up front and honest approach of how we deal with our animals and the public be it with those who hurt animals those who are irresponsible, those who care for their beloved pets and those who love animals. We are transparent about what we use our donations for. We have been a part of education and speaking out on behalf of animals for 3 decades. We believe every Org should have oversight and have run on the promise of quality care over quantity of animals because the amount of animals versus the amount of manpower to care for them does matter or we are not helping any specie of animal in the big picture when we have way to many. Enrichment is what we strive for while they wait. We have huge fenced in areas, roomy kennels, dogs get sleepovers in the camper, we do training, cats have loose access throughout the day in their own room. Our animals here do not lay and wait for Vet care, they are immediately transported to Vets if needed. Donations go to the animals as donors intended. If you are interested in donating in kind or financially, 100% goes back to the animals, and if we have any in kind items left over we share those with other responsible, reputable Rescues. You may message us with how to help. We have been changing lives here at this spot for over 25 years and the Director has been doing this work for over 30 years. We take some of the worst cases and turn their lives around one pet at a time. Please continue to help us help them. Thank you for the decades of support.

Hoarding of animals is a problem, even with some who do animal rescue with some taking in a lot of money. Instead of donors wondering who takes care of their constant influx of animals and they applaud them for taking in more and more animals with little transparency. And the authorities let them keep 5. And they started up the hoarding again.

The investigation began when police were called to a hotel room where they found nine dead cats.

We’re thrilled to report that these young boys have been taken in by RAGOM. It really takes a village, especially to move them out of their present situation so quickly.
So, thanks to Kassie, Diann, Kathy, John, Jen and the foster home that has the most work to do getting them ready for adoption. Thanks to those who shared the ad too.
We can now mark these guys SAFE. Check out RAGOM soon to adopt one or both boys or one of the many other dogs they have available. The first time we worked with RAGOM was around 27 years ago.
This is a good time to remind people that getting a pet needs lots of planning and looking ahead. Never can it be taken lightly. These boys have already been in 3 homes in their short life and will have a 4th home when adopted.

These guys were bought at a swap meet etc at probably the Grundy County Fair grounds. These sales should be banned, those who truly care about their animals would not use a swap/animal sale to get rid of their animals. I give the buyer credit for getting them fixed at least.
HAPPY Trails guys 💙🐾

Urgent Lab/Golden mix pups need a good
home/s. They were gotten at a dreaded animal swap at a fairgrounds. These should be outlawed.
15 months, neutered and vaccinated. These two were not contained properly and been running and killing neighbors chicken. They are shy and somewhat reserved now because of people taking out their frustrations on them.
They need loving, lifetime preferably indoor homes who need to redo what the other humans haven’t.
Darling boys who need out of the current situation now.
Please message the page if youre a great home or repuranle Rescue. They’re still pups. Don’t ask how they are with small kids, don’t know. They may do best with older kids and adults.
The situation theyre in now is not good.

UPDATE: ADOPTED!!!!!!

Axel has been patiently waiting for his turn to be adopted! He's on day 188 of being in the shelter and is so ready to be a spoiled pup in his own home 🥹

He is 3.5 years old and will chase a tennis ball for hours on end. Unfortunately, Axel frequently gets passed over because he doesn't have great kennel presentation. Give him a chance out of his kennel, and you'll see his friendly personality. All he asks is that his owners respect his boundaries and he will be a great companion.

UPDATE: We have been able to learn that Axel has lived with cats at one point previously. We would still recommend slow introductions with resident cats if adopted.

Visit Axel today until 6pm or check out our adoptable pets online at www.midlandshumanesociety.org/adopt 🐾

If the dog was let out unattended or not in a secure fence, the handler, police officer needs held responsible and charged with neglect. These police dogs are to often not treated as well as people choose to believe, including the retired ones.

The Mt. Vernon-Lisbon Police Department is searching for a K9 officer named “Monster.”

Iowa Shelter seniors need some love and a cozy, committed home.

Iowa Shelter seniors need some love and a cozy, committed home.

URGENT PLACEMENT NEEDED!

Tanner (11 yr. Old orange male) and Casey (13 yr. Old female) were surrendered to our shelter today at no fault of their own. After spending their lives together, loved, cherished, and cared for, their owner sadly passed away.

Tanner, unfortunately, is FIV positive. FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) is something a cat will live with for the rest of their lives. It weakens their immune system, but thankfully does not greatly impact their quality of life. FIV is transmitted through notes between cats, and cannot be transmitted to dogs or humans.

Casey, however, is not FIV positive. This is a testament to Tanners gentle nature. Tanner is a sweet old man, who likes to nap most of the time, while Casey will readily come up for pets and love. These two love bugs would do best in a foster home (or forever home!) together.

Do you want to break these sweet seniors out of the shelter? If so please apply to foster or adopt below!

Officers like this give us hope. We have to many looking the other way and ignoring animal neglect. A dog should not be in the bed of a truck on any roadway. The lack of common sense with some pet owners is astounding and neglectful.

Hopefully tax paid employees at IDALS and the DNR will be checking on the animals in Orgs. they have licensed and allowed to take these animals in. There are some who have way too many animals and red flags with professional Vet care and enrichment. With the temperatures it may be a life and death situation worse than other days. It's these departments that are to be helping protect animals. Make sure and look everywhere not just what they allow you to see.

One of our alumni Frida. She loves the snow but after being in a pen outside before we took her and her 1/2 sister in, being indoors is pretty cool too. She has a wonderful life.

In honor of this Fathead guy Max who lived at Agape Fosters for 9 years due to behavior and trust issues, all the fault of a reckless breeder and several homes in his first 8 months of life we would like to donate a free spay or neuter to another fathead dog who’s owner can use the financial help.
American Bulldogs like Max or those who have Pitbull or mixes of either are welcome to message us on why it’s important your dog and you get this taken care of.
There are way to many of these dogs not fixed, being dumped, reproducing and being killed in Shelters and Animal Control because of irresponsible ownership.
Spay and Neuter folks, it’s the only way to help these breeds and be particular who they are sold or adopted to.
