ARL of IA

A quick and easy way to find animals available for adoption.

The Animal Rescue League of Iowa is located in Des Moines, IA and serves the pets and people in our community. The ARL app allows you to view all the pets that are currently available for adoption and the pet lists update every 30 minutes. Looking for a specific pet? Set up parameters to receive notifications and when a pet matches your criteria you’ll be notified and can come meet the pet!

You will also find all of our locations, access to the ARL Animal Connection podcast, list of upcoming events, and can donate to the ARL to support the thousands of homeless animals that come through our doors every year.
