Their foster family will be ready to tell you about their favorite toys\, how they do on a leash\, and exactly which spot to scratch on their belly! \nThis event will be hosted at the ARL’s Bailey’s Bark Park\, and will be moved inside at the ARL’s new indoor dog park if poor weather. \nSo\, come hang out with the dogs in a relaxed\, park setting and get first-hand knowledge from the dedicated foster homes who have gotten to know these pups so well and find your perfect match. \nWe’ll see you at the park! \n\nThis project has been supported by a grant from PEDIGREE Foundation. \n\nNOTE: Dogs attending the event will be announced one day prior to the event. Adoptions are first-come\, first-serve so dogs scheduled to be at the event may be adopted prior to the event. If the dog you are interested in is no longer able to attend the event\, we’ll be happy to introduce you to other dogs waiting for their forever home. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Find your new four-legged friend!” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:center” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_row][vc_column css=".vc_custom_1755559578168{padding-top: 0px !important;}"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner css=".vc_custom_1753314820255{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 2.083vw !important;padding-left: 2.083vw !important;}"][vc_single_image image="7146" img_size="800x800" alignment="center" css=".vc_custom_1762384978862{margin-bottom: -5px !important;padding-top: 5px !important;padding-right: 5px !important;padding-bottom: 5px !important;padding-left: 5px !important;background-color: #E8E1D4 !important;}" el_class="adopt-a-pet-img"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_btn title="Cats" style="custom" custom_background="#777777" custom_text="#ffffff" shape="square" size="lg" align="center" css=".vc_custom_1764789211373{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}" button_block="true" link="url:https%3A%2F%2Farl-iowa.org%2Fadopt%2Fpets-for-adoption%2Fcats%2F%3F_species%3Dcat|title:Cats" el_class="btn-adopt-a-pet"][vc_empty_space height="60px"][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_row][vc_column css=".vc_custom_1755559578168{padding-top: 0px !important;}"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner css=".vc_custom_1753314820255{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 2.083vw !important;padding-left: 2.083vw !important;}"][vc_single_image image="1232" img_size="800x800" alignment="center" css=".vc_custom_1762385005207{margin-bottom: -5px !important;padding-top: 5px !important;padding-right: 5px !important;padding-bottom: 5px !important;padding-left: 5px !important;background-color: #E8E1D4 !important;}" el_class="adopt-a-pet-img"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_btn title="Dogs" style="custom" custom_background="#777777" custom_text="#ffffff" shape="square" size="lg" align="center" css=".vc_custom_1758584496977{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}" button_block="true" link="url:https%3A%2F%2Farl-iowa.org%2Fadopt%2Fpets-for-adoption%2Fdogs%2F%3F_species%3Ddog|title:Dogs" el_class="btn-alt btn-adopt-a-pet"][vc_empty_space height="60px"][/vc_column][/vc_row] \n[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://arl-iowa.org/event/adoption-event-foster-to-forever-may-24/ LOCATION:ARL Main\, 5452 NE 22nd St\, Des Moines\, IA\, 50313\, United States CATEGORIES:Adoption Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://arl-iowa.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/pedigreebranded_eventphoto-01.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Foster Team":MAILTO:foster@arl-iowa.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260531T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260531T150000 DTSTAMP:20260601T154638Z CREATED:20260520T134043Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260601T154638Z UID:10000725-1780228800-1780239600@arl-iowa.org SUMMARY:Adoption Event with Rusty's Retreat DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Adoption Event at Rusty’s Retreat in Bondurant” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”72381″ img_size=”full” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text css=””]Join us for an adoption event at Rusty’s Retreat in Bondurant on May 31!
