Floyd County Humane Society (PAWS)

Charles City, IA

The PAWS Humane Society (Floyd County Humane Society) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization acting as a safe place for the needs of animals and the community at large in areas served by the society. We are dedicated to preventing neglect, abuse and cruelty towards unwanted or abandoned animals and one of very few no-kill shelters left in Iowa. We strive to encourage humane care and treatment for the animals we shelter and see that their interests and well-being are humanely protected by an aware and caring society.

 

All of the animals in our shelter are stray with a story we may never know. Some of them unwanted and have been abandoned, while still perfect in all the important ways. Many have been cast aside by their owners. Some owners didn’t have enough time. Some had to move. Some dogs were surrendered because they barked too much, others because they didn’t bark enough. We don't always know the reason why these animals are brought to us and never claimed by their owners, but we're here to show them that they're worth saving.
