Adopt a Pet

MPFL has secured a building, located at 129 - 4th Avenue South in Clinton, Iowa and will take possession May 1st.

MPFL provides limited adoption options for elderly, disabled, homeless, and those who have fallen on hard times and can no longer care for their pet or for pet owners who have passed away. We DO share courtesy posts to help spread the word about animals in need of new forever homes. We also assist with animal transport to get pets to their new forever home. 

MPFL does NOT have a caretaker at this time because we do NOT take in animals on a regular basis. 

MPFL is run entirely by volunteers. There are NO paid employees.  

MPFL does NOT have a contract with the city and depends solely on donations, grants, and fundraisers for income. 

MPFL does NOT perform euthanasia. 

MPFL provides monthly low-cost spay/neuter clinics for cats at convenient locations in Clinton, Iowa. These clinics are open to everyone and are by appointment only. 

MPFL works with a local veterinary clinic to provide spay/neuter for dogs. This also requires an appointment and an MPFL voucher.
