This resolution recognizes and honors the Animal Rescue League of Iowa on its 100th anniversary, acknowledging its significant contributions since its founding in 1926. It highlights the organization's status as Iowa's largest nonprofit animal shelter, dedicated to protecting animal welfare, preserving the human-animal bond, and preventing pet overpopulation. The resolution notes the League's extensive work, caring for over 13,000 animals annually, successfully reuniting 1,776 pets with owners, and finding new homes for a record 9,244 pets in 2025. Furthermore, it commends the League's comprehensive programs, including affordable veterinary care, behavior training, responsible pet ownership education, and pet food assistance, all aimed at keeping pets with their families. The resolution also points out the League's long-standing partnerships with Des Moines and other central Iowa communities since 2005 to provide animal services. Ultimately, the resolution formally expresses the Senate's appreciation for the Animal Rescue League of Iowa's century of service in improving the lives of both animals and people in the state.
