The Iron County Animal Shelter is actively looking for loving homes for its animals. Potential adopters can view the latest available pets by visiting the shelter's Petfinder page, which features updated photos and details of pets ready for adoption.
Pet Surrender Requirements and Process
For residents looking to surrender a pet, owner surrenders must be scheduled by appointment through shelter staff. The process requires owners to be Iron County residents and provide proof of residence.
Fees and Surrendered Pet Policies
A $100 fee applies per dog for owner surrenders. According to the shelter, surrendered pets must be friendly and have no history of aggression or biting. Owners are required to sign a release form, though the shelter cannot guarantee placement or transfer of the surrendered pet.
