I've got a wonderful "tail of success" story to share with you!
Each Wednesday, I take a shelter pet to KIMT to be featured as the "Pet of the Week". Last week, we switched things up and Katie Huinker from KIMT did the segment live from our shelter.
I chose to feature a sweet kitty named Sunshine who had been in our shelter for 2 and 1/2 years! He isn't a kitty I would have normally taken to the tv studio because he is a little bit scared outside of his kennel room and I didn't want to stress him out. I don't blame him, he's been there for two and a half years. 😔😔
Now here's the best part, a nice woman named Kathy saw the segment and instantly knew that she wanted to adopt Sunshine.. By Saturday, Sunshine was in his new and has settled in perfectly!! Wow!! This beautiful little kitty waited two and a half years for his happy ending...and now he will spend the rest of his life being loved and snuggled in his "furever" home!!! <3 <3 <3 <3Where Pet Store Puppies Come From

On top of the Puppy Mill Map Research that our research team has been compiling and releasing, our volunteers have also been diligently researching pet stores across the country to find out …Iowans: Animals need you to be a voice for them in our state! Our welfare laws are 49th worst-in-the-nation and our animals deserve better than that. Below is information on some key pieces of legislation being proposed in our state legislature right now. It's important for you to reach out and contact your legislators and ask them to support these bills when they come up for a vote. Be a voice for those without one!!TAKE ACTION: There are currently 3 bills in the state Legislature that would revise Iowa’s companion animal cruelty laws. SSB1075, HSB114 and SF57 all make improvements over current law, but all have their differences, too (we've broken them out for you here).
The ARL has been active at the State Capitol this week, attending multiple committee meetings on the bills. SSB1075 is currently the strongest of the bills and adds the most protection for Iowa’s companion animals.
Please join us now in asking your lawmakers to support SSB1075. We’ve made it easy. Just go to ow.ly/wZFg30nHNEO and click on the purple box. You’ll see a sample message that you can personalize. Fill out your info, and your message will be sent to your state lawmakers immediately.
THANK YOU for taking action today to help pets in Iowa!
