My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Everyone needs a little Marigold in their life! This young lady is just full of love and zest for life, and has never met a stranger...she greets everyone she meets like they are a long lost friend!

Marigold was originally a stray puppy brought into the Cedar Rapids animal shelter back in September. After being overlooked there, and the shelter experiencing a large influx of dogs coming in, Marigold was transferred to Safe Haven on November 3rd because we found ourselves with space to help a neighboring shelter in need.

It didn't take long after meeting Marigold, before knowing we wanted to welcome her into Safe Haven because she just has that magnetic personality that draws you in with such a great smile! Marigold is estimated to be around 9 months old now, so she does have that typical 'puppy energy' that she just needs help harnessing and learning how to mature into that great dog we can already see her becoming. While Marigold has mastered the 'sit' command, it would be great if her adoptive family had time to commit to an obedience class to help build a nice strong connection with Marigold and help guide her learning how to properly greet new friends and enjoy a nice loose leash walk, etc. As we get to know Marigold more we will be introducing her to other dogs and cats and see what type of home she will be most comfortable in.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

It is the policy of Safe Haven of Iowa County that all animals adopted from our facility will be spayed or neutered upon adoption, or the adopter will sign a spay/neuter agreement and follow up with veterinary records once the operation has been complete for puppies and kittens. We firmly believe that controlling the animal population is the only way to reduce the population of animals in rescue facilities such as ours and those shelters that do destroy animals for no reason other than overpopulation.

It is our policy that adoptions are conducted a minimum of 24 hours after your initial visit with the animal and submission of the adoption application. This allows us time to call your references, perform home inspection as well as giving you the opportunity to sleep on your decision and make sure it is what you really want.

Compare the adoption fees below with the routine animal health care and spay / neuter costs you would have to pay. Without the generous help of the local veterinarians we would never be able to include such services at this fee.

We have the right to refuse ANY adoption for ANY reason.

Dogs & Puppies: Adoption fees include spaying or neutering (if under 4 months a voucher is provided for surgery at one of our participating veterinarians), heartworm test, distemper, rabies, worming, ear cleaning, flea control if needed.

Fee: $200.00

Cats & Kittens: Adoption fees include spaying or neutering (if under 4 months a voucher is provided for surgery at one of our participating veterinarians), FeLv and FIV testing, distemper, rabies and worming, ear cleaning, and flea control if needed.

Fee: $50.00

All puppies and kittens adopted without spay/neuter completed will have a contract stating the animals will be altered by the time it is 6 months old. Follow up calls will be made to confirm completion of surgery.

More about this rescue

Our Mission
Safe Haven of Iowa County is a rescue organization whose mission is to rescue, protect, spay/neuter and find good homes for stray animals in Iowa County, Iowa. We strive to offer the best in traditional veterinary care with relationships built with local veternarians and, whenever possible, holistic health care for sick and injured animals in our care.
While sheltering homeless pets is vitally important, Safe Haven of Iowa County also understands that pet shelters are not a solution to the nations overpopulation problem. It is essential that we:

-Teach respect for living things

-Reinforce the bond between humans and animals

-advocate for and help provide assistance to large scale spay and nuetering programs

-Teach and model responsible pet ownership

These are all things that will help us in our effort to stop the needless killing of cats and dogs in our shelters and pounds.

We ask that our community understand that while we pamper and care for our pets they are all still missing the most important thing in their life...a loving home and family of thier own.
