Animal Rescue Disaster Services
“The Animal Rescue League of Iowa (ARL) is a key participant in emergency preparedness and response within the city of Des Moines and Polk County, and throughout Central Iowa. The ARL is prepared to provide immediate, expert support to area communities, their citizens, and their pets when the situation escalates to the point that it is beyond the capabilities of the local resources; whether due to large scale criminal investigations, or other emergencies including man-made events like apartment fires or natural disasters including tornadoes and flooding.”
