When you're looking to add a pet to your life, consider adopting a homeless animal from our shelter. Whether you want a puppy, mature dog, cat or kitten, our shelter has a great selection of animals - all screened for good health and behavior. We even help by spaying and neutering the pet as part of your adoption fee.

The Rock Island County Animal Care and Control Shelter believes that every dog and every cat is a living, feeling being who, more often than not, would make a wonderful companion if given a chance. We strive to increase those chances through our pet adoption services and support of companion-animal sterilization.
 
There are many special people who put in time for the animals that may appear to go unnoticed, but it's the small things that can sometimes make the difference. So, here is a thank you to everyone who does the every day things, who keeps track of the details, and those who stop by to fondle a furry ear and to remind a dog or cat they're still loved, even if they haven't found a family of their own yet.

These are some of the people and businesses to whom we and the animals owe our gratitude - here's our chance to say "Thank you for your life-saving contributions!"
