People For Pets

People For Pets People For Pets helps pets find loving homes and people find loving pets. Before this agreement was made, these loving pets were put to sleep!

People For Pets is a non-profit organization devoted to finding loving homes for abandoned pets. We have an agreement with the City of Spencer, Iowa, to find homes for all stray cats and dogs not claimed within three business days. People For Pets is an all volunteer, private, nonprofit shelter and rescue. We receive no government funding and are supported solely by private donations and adoption

fees. Volunteers are always welcome! Come Visit or Send a Donation:

We would like to thank the "Rescue Angels". These are the shelters that we work with that have the same pledge as us. Without their support, People For Pets wouldn't be possible. Thank you all for your time and dedication.

We cannot express how grateful we are for Greater Good Charities. This past week has been amazing. With the TNR Event (results to come), and ending the week with a transport sending 75 cats and 1 dog from our shelter, Humane Society of Northwest Iowa, and Tails of Hope in Algona to Washington where they will have a better chance at adoption. This wouldn’t be possible without our partnership!

‼️HELP NEEDED FOR TOMORROW, MAY 27th!!!‼️

We still need 2-3 volunteers to help with trapping tomorrow starting at 2pm.

No experience needed!
You will be shown what to do and paired so you do not have to trap alone.

If you’re interested in helping, please message us on Facebook or call 712-580-2738! (If we don’t answer the phone please leave a voicemail).

🚨 IMPORTANT REMINDER 🚨

Trapping for our mass TNR event will begin the afternoon of May 27th. If you care for a community cat colony, please remove all food TODAY to help ensure cats will safely enter traps.

This allows us to spay/neuter, vaccinate, treat, ear-notch, and safely return them to their colonies. TNR helps reduce overpopulation, disease spread, and nuisance behaviors in our communities. 🐾

Thank you for helping us make this event successful for the cats of Clay County! ❤️
