You do not need an appointment, and hours are every Wednesday from 8:00 am to 11:00 am., and the first Saturday of the month from 8:00 am to 11:00. We are unable to see sick or injured animals, but can share information about full service veterinarians with you.

Humane Education

We partner with schools throughout the Quad Cities area to provide quality educational programs to teach young people how to be pet caretakers, how pets improve our lives, and the impact they can have on the lives of animals. We visit schools and host a variety of groups in the Education Center at the shelter.
