#SMALL ANIMAL RESCUE TEAM OF IOWA SOFTWARE#
On December 1, 2014, we implemented Chameleon, an automated software system for animal shelters. Many of those handwritten records were not well detailed, resulting in gaps in the data. Prior to December 1, 2014, the Ames Animal Shelter used handwritten records to track animal shelter and animal control operations. You can learn more about what it takes to run a No Kill shelter on the No Kill Advocacy Center's website The statistics listed provide the most complete, accurate data we have available regarding all animals that enter the Ames Animal Shelter. We want our citizens, patrons, and donors to feel confident that when we say we’re a No Kill animal shelter, that we have the data to support that statement. The Ames Animal Shelter and Animal Control believes that transparency is an important part of being a No Kill municipal animal sheltering agency. We also take extraordinary measures (thanks to the support of our donors) to rehabilitate and help animals with injuries or illnesses to help make them adoptable. We provide 24/7 lost and found pet reporting through our website, and offer resources to owners to help them find their missing pets. Through education and a variety of resources provided by agencies in Ames and surrounding areas, we are able to help owners find the means to keep their pets in their home rather than surrendering them.
We work closely with animal rescue organizations to help us find homes for animals that don’t thrive in the shelter environment and could benefit from a foster home situation. We believe no animal should ever be put to sleep for a lack of space, time, or resources.
We are proud of our success and thanks to our adopters, donors, volunteers, and community partners, we are able to place over 98% of our dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small pets into new homes or return them to their original owners. At the Ames Animal Shelter, we are 100% committed to running a No Kill, progressive, responsible animal sheltering agency.
