The Animal Rescue League of Iowa
ARL is Iowa's largest nonprofit animal shelter, caring for many thousands of pets each year.
GIVE SECOND CHANCES
Since 1926, the Animal Rescue League of Iowa has helped more than 1 million pets in need, and at the end of 2024, we saved thousands of lives. Thanks to your support, we were able to be there for all those pets in need last year. They’re just some of the thousands of pets you help each year.
Join the journey
Each year, the ARL assists in saving hundreds of animals from inhumane conditions. As the calls for help continue to grow, the facilities the animals can recover in must grow, too. You can help transform our rescue facilities so every animal who has been the victim of cruelty will have a safe place to begin their journey to a better life. Help transform their future by making a gift today!
