An animal welfare legal group sent at letter to Iowa's attorney general in December asking her to investigate an Iowa corporation. They accuse the group of breaking a legal agreement the owners signed with the state of Iowa in 2020 to stop buying puppies from puppy mills and to stop misleading buyers about where their puppies come from in order to get around laws in other states.

♡♡ Halo!! ♡♡ Halo is as as sweet and friendly as she is gorgeous! German Shepherds are generally sweet natured, and that would be our Halo. Evelyn, her favorite volunteer took her out for a field trip recently, here is what she had to say:

"Was able to spend a couple of hours with Halo today. What a good girl. She rides like a pro in the vehicle. Took her to Tractor Supply for a test run. Loves people and met all humans as a close friend. 🥰. Took her home for a bit and for a picky eater at the rescue she had no problem eating the same food at my place. She checked the cat beds and toys and every room like an inspector.
Sorry for so few pictures. I just love this precious dog along with her rescue friends.."

Hi, I’m Princess. Do you like a good project? True to my name, I am truly a princess and have my own thoughts about how you should take care of me. I love to snuggle but I am adverse to any leash or harness touching this beautiful body. For that reason, I will need a fenced-in yard. However, if you ever need me to be somewhere or go somewhere, I am Olympic material on the “kennel-up” command and am great in my kennel. I am also good with other dogs. I am looking for an understanding person who will love me for who I am. If you would like to meet me, I’ll be at Brown Dog Bakery in Ankeny tomorrow from 11 am to 1 pm.

If you are interested in adopting me, we have an application you can fill out below!

Our first AHeinz57 Hero of the Month for 2025 is Jill Sterling!

Jill does so much for our rescue. When I called to tell her she was voted as the Hero of the Month. She started crying and was so happy and honored.

Please help us congratulate this very special volunteer for all she does to help so many dogs and make them feel special❤️

Please see Jill’s story below…

I began volunteering with AHeinz57 in 2020 during the height of quarantine, just after my oldest graduated high school. I needed something positive to look forward to, and what better than puppies! I started out on Puppy Patrol and soon convinced my husband to join me in fostering. With our second foster dog, we became what’s lovingly called “foster fails” and adopted Hazel.

From there, I started working with older dogs at the Adoption Center while continuing to foster. To date, we’ve fostered 24 dogs, and I’ve loved every single one of them. While saying goodbye is always tough, I focus on the next dog we can help get out of the shelter and into a loving home.

This experience has brought so much joy to my life, and I’m incredibly grateful for the amazing community of compassionate people I’ve met along the way. Every visit to the shelter fills my heart and keeps me coming back.

💛 Meet Larry! 💛

This handsome boy is searching for his forever family. He is such a good boy who is house trained, kennel trained and walks well on a leash. He gets along well with others dogs and does well at doggy day care when his foster mom takes him but he can get over stimulated at times. We recommend Larry goes to a home with kids 12 and older. Larry is working on overcoming some guarding tendencies in his foster home. Larry is a HUGE cuddler and loves to play.

💙 Fred 🐱

Meet Fred, a striking 5-month-old kitten with stunning black swirls on his gorgeous gray coat. Fred is quite the independent little guy, though he does enjoy playing with his kitten friends. During his time in foster care, Fred kept his distance from both kids and dogs, remaining unbothered by their presence. This handsome boy is ready to find his forever home where he can continue to thrive. 😻

If you'd like to meet Fred, please apply at Aheinz57.com. Remember, feline adoptions are half off through the end of the year. Let's get Fred home for the new year!🐾
