Animals are available for adoption after the stray hold time has expired. The State of Iowa requires all animals adopted from this facility to be sterilized. The City of Creston also requires a Rabies vaccination. Most of the pets at the Creston City Pound are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and tested for heartworm and feline leukemia before adoption. The adoption fee is $20.00 unless the animal has not been spayed/neutered and then there is also a $20.00 spay/neuter deposit collected at the time of adoption. * Adoptions cannot be done through the mail or done as a gift for someone else. * The actual adopter must fill out an application and meet with the Adoption Coordinator. * Adopters must be at least 21 years old. * The animal must reside at the address on the contract. * We cannot adopt outside of Iowa as it is too difficult to do home checks and review applications. * We give priority to local adopters who own their home and have completed an adoption application. We ask that you submit the adoption application prior to making appointments to meet the animals. Print one from our website at www.petfinder.com or request to have one mailed to you. The applications usually take 5 business days to review. We reserve the right to refuse an adoption to anyone. Call ahead for an appointment as the City Pound does not have regular “open” hours, leave a message at 641-782-2330 and a volunteer will return your call. Please be patient, ALL our work is done by volunteers who have full-time jobs and families. When calling please speak clearly and leave a phone number.
