About this shelter

Animal Rescue League of Marshalltown in Marshalltown, IA

The Animal Rescue League of Marshalltown is a rescue organization located in Marshalltown, Iowa, in Marshall County, roughly 40 miles northeast of Waterloo, and one other animal shelter or rescue also serves the county. The organization is dedicated to rescuing, rehoming, and reuniting pets with loving families, and it sits on a 17-acre property that includes a private pond. While veterinary clinic services are currently unavailable, the shelter still offers dog and cat distemper vaccines and microchip insertion and registration, and it provides compassionate after-life care and cremation services for families saying goodbye to their pets. Beyond adoptions, the League supports the community through fostering and volunteering programs and hosts community fundraising events such as its annual Draws for Paws.
