Supporting Shelter: Dubuque Regional Humane Society

Supporting Rescue: Safe Haven Humane Society

Pros: Knowledgeable, committed staff

Cons: There are always too many animals in need and not enough space in the shelter systems across America :(

I volunteered at this animal shelter when I was still living in Dubuque and visited several times recently looking at their adoptable dogs. The people at the shelter truly love animals and are very friendly. When I volunteered there, I felt like the staff was very committed to ensuring that their animals were as adoptable as possible - from training as part of the "Head Start" program, to making sure that the kennels and cages were clean and presentable. The staff is knowledgeable and willing to discuss specific breed characteristics with potential adopters. Overall, they do a great job. Plus, the shelter is very active in the community, putting together events for people and their canine companions that are fundraisers to help all of those animals looking for their forever home.
