Community Outreach

At Almost Home Animal Rescue, we believe in supporting not just the animals in our care, but also the pets and families in our community. Our Community Outreach programs, such as the Pet Food Pantry and Equipment Borrowing service, are designed to provide essential resources to pet owners in need. Whether it's offering temporary assistance with food or lending equipment like live traps and kennels, we're here to help ensure pets stay safe, healthy, and with the families who love them. Together, we can create a stronger, more compassionate community for animals and their people.

What We
Offer

01

Live Traps

With the help of South Central Iowa Community Foundation, we are able to provide our community with a Live Trap Borrowers Program. Residents of Lucas and Wayne Counties can borrow the traps (with a refundable deposit) to assist with humanely trapping cats and dogs. 

We also have pet carriers (small, medium, large) available to be borrowed. 

​

02

Pet Pantry

With the help of a generous donor, we have installed a Pet Food Pantry in front of the shelter. This box is accessible during our public hours (Tuesday - Saturday from 9 AM - 4 PM) and can be utilized by those needing assistance with pet products. In the same way as our community's blessing boxes, the community is encouraged to make donations of food, litter, collars, and more.

​

Almost Home Animal Rescue provides items in the Pet Food Pantry as a community resource to support pet owners. However, we do not guarantee the quality, safety, or suitability of any food, treats, or other items offered. Pet owners are responsible for checking any items before use and should consult their veterinarian to ensure the items are appropriate for their pets. Almost Home Animal Rescue is not responsible for any adverse reactions, illnesses, or injuries that may result from the use of these items.
