🐾 Let's put some faces to names! 🐾

We have some wonderful dogs here at the ARL who are still waiting for their chance at a forever home, and we think it's time to give them a little extra spotlight!

We want to introduce you to a few of our adoptable pups, share a little about their personalities, and hopefully help them find the people they've been waiting for.

Every dog has a story, and we'd love to help them write their next chapter. ❤️

(P.S scroll through the pictures to learn a little more about each dog) 🐾

If you are interested in meeting one of these pawmazing dogs, please go to
https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ARLM/Dog to fill out an application! An application does not mean you have to adopt, it just allows you to take home your new family member the day you meet them (if everything aligns). Applications are kept on file for 3 months.

***STRAY DOG ALERT***
This dog was found on 18th Ave near Burns Rd. This is where the overpass for Hwy 30 turns to gravel. We are looking for any information related to this pup. She is super sweet but very scared and missing home. Please share and let's find out where she came from!

🎃 Trunk or Treat Cancellation Notice

After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this Friday's Trunk or Treat event.

While we were excited to host a fun Halloween celebration for our community, participation numbers did not reach the level needed to create the experience we had hoped to provide. Additionally, the current forecast is calling for cold, rainy weather, which would leave our outdoor event space wet, muddy, and difficult for guests and participants to enjoy safely.

We know many families were looking forward to joining us, and we sincerely apologize for any disappointment this may cause. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who expressed interest in attending, volunteering, or supporting the event.

Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to bring more family-friendly opportunities to the community in the future. We appreciate your continued support of the animals and the work we do every day.

Happy Halloween, and stay warm and safe this weekend! 🎃🐾

As we approach Halloween, we want to share this again! Send this to your friends who have pets and are also celebrating Halloween!

🎃🐾 SPOOKY SEASON IS HERE — LET’S KEEP OUR PETS SAFE! 🐾🎃

Halloween is full of fun, costumes, candy, and trick-or-treaters, but it can also bring some unexpected dangers for our furry family members! 👻🧡

Before the spooky festivities begin, here are a few reminders from the ARL of Marshalltown to help keep your pets safe:

🐈‍⬛ Keep pets indoors. Constant doorbell ringing and open doors can make it easier for pets to slip outside. Give them a quiet, secure room away from the Halloween hustle and bustle.

🍬 Keep candy out of reach. Chocolate, sugar-free candy containing xylitol, and other Halloween treats can be dangerous for pets. Keep the goodies somewhere they can't get into!

🏷️ Check those IDs and microchips! Make sure your pet's microchip information is up to date, their ID tags are current, and their collar fits properly.

📸 Take a picture! A recent photo can help identify your pet and prove ownership if they happen to get loose.

🚨 If your pet goes missing: Contact your local non-emergency number and post on your local lost-pet page. Keep an eye on the ARL of Marshalltown's page for stray animal posts, too!

A little preparation can make a BIG difference in keeping your pets safe this Halloween. Share this post to help other pet parents stay prepared! 🧡🐾

From all of us at the ARL of Marshalltown, have a safe and happy Halloween! 🎃
