It is the policy of the Clinton Humane Society that all pets adopted are neutered/spayed. This is supported by the laws of the State of Iowa. Adoption Information: Not every animal will be made available for adoption. Some animals have just arrived and must be held a few days for the owner to have an opportunity to reclaim it. No employee can guarantee that a specific animal in this facility will be placed for adoption. Animals that are in ill health, that exhibit severe behavior problems, or poor temperament are not placed for adoption. Animals are evaluated and placed for adoption on the decision of the staff in each and every case. Not all animals made available for adoption will be suitable for your home. Different pets require different types of homes. The Society staff will be glad to assist you in choosing an animals that is suitable for your lifestyle.

Approved adopters will be called from our computer list when the type of animals you are looking for becomes available. PROCESS ALL THE DAILY APPLICATIONS WE ASK THAT YOU CALL THE SHELTER THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY AFTER NOON TO SEE IF YOUR APPLICATION HAS BEEN APPROVED.*** ***ALL PETS MUST BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED BEFORE ADOPTION*** We participate in the PURINA PETS FOR PEOPLE PROGRAM. This program enables potential pet owners over 60 years of age a discount on their adoption. Ask about availability. ***PETS ARE OUR BUSINESS...THEIR WELFARE IS OUR FIRST CONCERN!!!*** Sometimes
that means a pet is better off being euthanized. We feel that a quick,
quiet death is better than suffering unloved on the end of a chain
or bouncing from home to home. Euthanasia decisions are made daily
on a case by case basis.
