Animal Lifeline of Iowa (ALI), founded in 1986, is Central Iowa’s only animal shelter focused on special needs cats and dogs, based in Des Moines and serving the entire state of Iowa. We rescue cats and dogs that are disabled, pregnant or nursing moms, orphaned, injured, abused, or undergoing treatment for ongoing medical conditions. We rehabilitate these animals, who face a higher risk of euthanasia in traditional shelters, and then find them loving forever homes. Animals are not euthanized because they have been at the shelter for a certain period.

MISSION STATEMENT
Animal Lifeline is a no-kill animal shelter that reduces the number of special needs cats and dogs who are euthanized by providing care, temporary shelter, and promoting positive long-term pet guardianship.
As a no-kill rescue, we manage our intakes based on our available resources and adoption demand. The more community support we have, the more animals we can save.

We are a 501 (c)3 charitable organization and rely solely on donations. We receive no government funding.
