Spencer no-kill animal shelter raising money for renovations
SPENCER, Iowa (KCAU) — A Spencer-based no-kill animal shelter has launched a fundraising campaign to raise money for renovations. People for Pets, a non-profit no-kill animal shelter, is currently aiming to raise $500,000 that would go toward renovating and expanding their facilities, a release from People for Pets stated. Their current facility was bought in 2001, and the shelter has grown a lot since then, the release states, so due to the passing of time and need for more space, the rescue is hoping to make repairs and expand. Age has caused floors to crack, kennel areas to grow worn out, and an increased demand for more drains and plumbing. These wear has caused it to become difficult to maintain high standards of care and sanitation for the animals they are caring for. 'This campaign isn't just about repairs, it's about a future that matches the love and care we give every day,' People for Pets director Jenna Schroer said. 'We've outgrown quick fixes. It's time for meaningful, lasting changes that reflect our mission.' Sioux City Bandits team up with LifeServe Blood Center for donation drive In addition to acting as an animal shelter, People for Pets also contributes to local Trap-Neuter-Return programs. They also contribute to the Kayleen Rose Fund which helps families who need emergency veterinary care. People for Pets provided a list of things the $500,000 would help them provide if their goal is met. You can view the list below. Indoor/outdoor kennels so dogs can choose to be inside or outside Secure isolation areas for sick or injured cats and dogs A building addition to include isolation space, storage and a can-sorting area Revamped cat rooms designed for comfort and enrichment Upgraded office and a welcoming reception area A meet-and-greet room for adopters to interact with animals in a quiet, private space Improvements to the grooming area with easier-access tubs or steps Additional washer and dryer units to manage the high volume of laundry A new van for animal transport Outdoor upgrades, including sod and a play structure for pets Ongoing support for veterinary costs If you would like to donate to People for Pets, you can do so online or by sending a payment through mail to People for Pets, 2312 Highway Boulevard, Spencer, Iowa 51301.

And I guess if you would have told me 25 years ago when I was first starting as a player that we would come this far and still be around and I would be the head coach and I'd have all these guys celebrating this around me, I'd say 'Wow!' I would've never imagined this would've gone this long.' The Bandits will face off against the Idaho Horsemen Friday night at 7:10 p.m. at the Tyson Events Center. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
