Check it out! 

The Ames Animal Shelter is a safe and humane place for the care of homeless, unwanted, lost, injured and many other animals, while owners are sought. Here, animals are sheltered in a clean and comfortable environment, and their individual nutrition and health needs are met.

The Animal Shelter Staff consists of the animal shelter supervisor, one full-time animal control officer, one full-time senior clerk, two part-time animal control officers, and one part-time animal control attendant.  For hours of operation please see Hours and Operations.

We just love animals too much NOT to work here!

At the Ames Animal Shelter we promise to love and care for the pets brought to us to the best of our abilities; we promise to make them as comfortable as possible in a difficult situation; we also promise to do our very best to find them new, safe homes. When everything else fails, we promise to end their lives humanely in order to make room for the incoming number of animals to follow.
