Serving Henry County, Iowa
Our Mission:
Connecting the hands and paws of all God's creatures in Henry Countyto build a happier, healthier community.
Who We Are
All God's Creatures (AGC) is a non-profit community initiative of First Presbyterian Church for the welfare of animals and people. We see an immense need for an animal shelter in Henry County. We also see the need to befriend socially isolated neighbors like the elderly, veterans,
the incarcerated, and disabled. We believe our shelter and volunteer programming will give hope, purpose, and friendship as we connect paws and people.
The Shelter
We recently purchased a building and green space in Mt. Pleasant! We'll be working with local contractors to renovate it into the perfect space. Our facility will provide housing, medical attention, foster services, socialization and adoption services for homeless animals in Henry County, Iowa. AGC is currently consulting with local shelters, programs, and veterinarians to learn how best to design and run our shelter to provide the best experience for animals and volunteers.
Community Outreach
We are excited to provide opportunities and initiate programs to involve our community, especially those who may benefit most from making new connections and finding a greater purpose. We're actively researching ways to connect in and out of the shelter with seniors, nursing home residents, veterans, those with physical and mental disabilities, and youth.
Trap/Neuter/Release
Our TNR program has been up and running for over a year, and we've spayed/neutered 50+ stray cats in the county! This has prevented hundreds of unwanted kittens from being born into poor conditions. We transport strays to the Iowa Humane Alliance, who offers low-cost services, then return them to their location. The cat is ear-tipped, so that the public can easily identify them as neutered and vaccinated.
