Bill > SR107

This resolution, originating from the Iowa Senate (indicated by "S.R. 107"), formally recognizes and celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Animal Rescue League of Iowa, which was founded in 1926. The resolution highlights the organization's significant contributions as Iowa's largest nonprofit animal shelter, dedicated to protecting animal welfare, preserving the human-animal bond, and preventing pet overpopulation. It acknowledges their extensive work in caring for over 13,000 companion animals annually, successfully reuniting 1,776 pets with their owners and finding new homes for a record 9,244 pets in 2025. Furthermore, the resolution commends the League's comprehensive programs, including affordable veterinary care, behavior training, responsible pet ownership education, and pet food pantries, all aimed at keeping pets with their families. The resolution also notes the organization's long-standing partnership with Des Moines and other central Iowa entities since 2005 to provide animal services.
