Fun Fact Friday:

Did you know that the "M" on a tabby's forehead is part of their natural coat pattern, linked to genetics. ALL tabby cats regardless of the specific tabby pattern (mackerel, classic, spotted, or ticked), have this marking. It is created by the way pigments are distributed in their fur.

Today's fun fact Friday is brought to you by our tabby cat, Sterling, who is up for adoption!

It is Wishlist Wednesday!

Our shelter dogs LOVE Kong's filled with peanut butter, and they are the perfect mix of fun and flavor.

We are currently very low on both of these items as they are very needed.

Donating an item from our wish list helps pets in need. Every dollar saved means another shelter pet gets a chance at the care they deserve. Drop off donations anytime at our location at 1921 Taylor Avenue from Tuesday-Friday from 11-5 p.m. and Saturday from 11-4 p.m. or have your items delivered via our amazon or chewy wish list with the links below:

This service ensures families can care for their beloved pets without the worry of where their next meal will come from—or the heartbreaking thought of giving them up due to financial struggles.

*** We will see you again February 7th ****

We will be at Thompson True Value with our mobile pet food pantry to help pet owners in their time of need. Any food we are not able to feed the animals in our care is used for the pet food pantry. We will be there from 11-1 pm or until food runs out, we are limited on cat food.

January 2nd marks the beginning of our mission to rescue, care for, and find homes for animals in need. Incorporated in 1948, after having a problem with dogs at large here in Marshalltown, where, at the time, the city pound consisted of wire enclosures at the city dump, we have grown thanks to YOUR support. From humble beginnings to where we are today let us keep the momentum going for the animals who need us the most! 💜

Sorry for the short notice but the ARL is closed for the remainder of the day. The animals are fed and tucked in cozy for the day. Now it's with an abundance of caution that I send the staff home also to get tucked in where it's safe.
