Friends of Ivins Animal Shelter was founded to support the "No Kill" philosophy at the Ivins Municipal Animal Shelter. It is the only "No Kill" shelter in Southern Utah and possibly the shelter in Utah with a non-profit 501 (c) (3) corporation established to raise funds to support the programs necessary to support a “No Kill” facility without placing a tax burden on the residents.

Who Are We?
Homeless, frightened, sick or injured pets must rely on those around them to provide a safe and loving environment. They trust us to provide that safe haven where they can rest, regain their strength and learn to trust again before they find a “Forever Home”.
Ivins City Council approved a new and progressive animal ordinance on January 19, 2006. To embrace the “No Kill” philosophy the ordinance states the following policy.
CHAPTER I – General
6.01.101Policy: It is the policy of Ivins City that no adoptable animal shall be euthanized if it can be adopted into a suitable and adequate home. (Ord. 2006-01)
Friends of Ivins Animal Shelter is a non-profit corporation, 501 (c)(3), founded to support the “No Kill” philosophy at the Ivins City Municipal Animal Shelter. Our shelter is the only “No Kill” municipal shelter in Southern Utah. Ivins is a small community without a large commercial tax base. The “No Kill” philosophy is supported by FIAS. Funding for spay/neuter, vaccinations, emergency medical care, general health care, food for animals requiring special diets, advertising, adoptions events and other needs to ensure the health, safety and welfare of the animals entrusted to our care is provided by FIAS through donations from kind, caring animal lovers.

Why Donate?
Funds are needed to help assist us with all of the programs designed to help the animals. Funds are especially needed for the Remodel/Building Fund. Our shelter is old, small and not appropriate to house animals on a long term basis. Ivins City has $300,000 in the Capital Facilities Plan to refurbish the shelter but an additional $250,000 is needed. Donations may be made to the following special funds.
