Animal Shelters in West Des Moines, IA
West Des Moines has six listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, in Polk County. Most are rescue organizations. Des Moines and Des Monies, both within about 11 miles, have listings of their own. Most of these dogs and cats are being fostered by people who will tell you exactly who they are before you decide.
West Des Moines has six listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first.
Mostly rescue organizations, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.
The West Des Moines listings all fall in Polk County, which is worth knowing if you are checking whether a shelter takes animals from your area.
If nothing here suits, Des Moines, Des Monies and Pleasant Hill all have listings within about 11 miles. Each one links through from the sidebar.
Most listings here carry a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
