DRHS SERVICES
The DRHS is not currently taking any surrenders at this time. We are taking measures to ensure that the animals in the building are receiving the best possible care. This may change in the future, but we currently will not be accepting surrenders. The DRHS is partnered with Rehome by Adopt-a-Pet.com to provide free* rehoming courtesy listings - learn more information here.
The DRHS is proudly provides food to struggling pet owners within our community who need it most. Solely supplied through donations, our pet pantry aims to help as many pets and their families as possible!
The DRHS is proud to offer our “Vets Need Pets” program in partnership with the local Veteran’s Freedom Center. The program offers veterans $50 off a cat or dog adoption with their military ID.

Here at the DRHS we recognize that traditional family homes aren’t for every cat. Working cats are healthy but independent cats from local shelters available to community members looking for natural pest deterrents.
Hadley's Dog Park is the first and only member-only dog park in the Dubuque community. Located on Kinsey's Campus at the DRHS, the park features over an acre of green space allowing dogs to run, play and socialize and is open year-round.
The DRHS is the stray holding facility for the City of Dubuque, Dubuque County, and Jo Daviess County. If you have lost an animal within these areas, please check the lost and found pet page. If you have found a stray or lost animal, please check the lost and found pets page to see requirements prior to bringing them in.
