Welcome to Kings Harvest Pet Rescue No Kill Shelter

It's estimated 600,000 families and 1.35 million children experience homelessness in the United States. 63% of those families and individuals have a pet.

There are often impossible decisions pet-owners face when losing their homes. Do I give up my pet at a shelter or rescue? Can I keep my pet and survive on the street while trying to provide food and shelter for myself, my family, and my pet? Sadly, most shelters in the US are not pet friendly. There exists an unconditional love that pet guardians understand. Their pets are non-judgmental, offer comfort, provide an emotional bond of loyalty and in some cases, they provide the unhoused with protection and warmth.

King’s Harvest Pet Rescue was started as a division of King’s Harvest Ministries. Terri Gleize became the director of King’s Harvest Ministries in 2006, and when she saw that so many of the homeless at King’s Harvest shelter had pets they could not keep, she began to house these animals in her home, soon putting up an outbuilding for the homeless pets. 

In 2015, thanks to a generous donation by Coy Bullard, Kings Harvest No Kill Pet Shelter opened its doors on West Central Park Avenue in Davenport Iowa. In 2025, we moved operations to 21110 Holden Drive in Mt. Joy, where we continue our mission of giving homeless animals the life they deserve.

King's Harvest Pet Rescue does not receive state or federal funding. We rely solely on your generous donations, and we welcome all, large or small, so please click on the DONATE button to give what you can. Volunteers are always needed, and you can find out more about these volunteer opportunities by visiting the VOLUNTEER page of our website. King's Harvest Pet Rescue would like to thank you in advance for your continued support. Our shelter pets and staff are always grateful for your aid and compassion!

Our hours are Monday - Saturday from 10 am - 5 pm. We are closed on Sunday.

Kings Harvest Pet Rescue, No-Kill Shelter has many pets available for adoption.

Come during our open hours and visit with the adoptable cats and dogs to find a furry friend for your home. Should you find a pet you wish to adopt, you can fill out the adoption application on our website. To find a pet available for adoption please visit this link!

Once you have completed an adoption application on site, if you are approved our dog adoption, fee is $150-$300 and our cat adoption fee is $80 for adults and $100 for kittens. These fees cover your pet being spayed/neutered, age appropriate vaccinations and microchipped. If you have chosen to adopt one of our cats, we ask that you bring a cage when coming to pick up your new furry family member. If you have decided to adopt a dog instead, please bring a collar and leash.‍
