The Animal Rescue League of Iowa’s Animal Welfare & Response Team spent Friday helping pets and people displaced by flooding due to heavy rainfall and storms.
Team members worked with emergency responders at flooded apartment buildings, providing temporary pet-housing assistance to families who evacuated but couldn’t bring their pets.
The ARL connected people who kept their pets with pet supplies and later rescued several more animals from flooded buildings, bringing them back to the shelter.
The ARL is currently caring for 14 cats, dogs, and reptiles while their families navigate the crisis.
Those who want to help these pets and their families can donate to the ARL.
