I am so excited to be participating in the 2021 Iowa Dog Jog, Sunday, September 19 to help raise money for pets in need at the Animal Rescue League of Iowa (ARL). Every the ARL cares for over 11,000 pets and participating in the Iowa Dog Jog is just one of the ways I will be supporting their mission to promote animal welfare, strengthen the human-animal bond, and prevent the overpopulation of pets.

Proceeds from Iowa Dog Jog go directly to support the homeless pets who need daily care, medical treatments, and a forever home. Did you know that the ARL also provides life-changing services to the community, including:

• The TNR program which supports the community by altering, vaccinating, ear-tipping, and returning healthy community cats to the areas where they've already been living and thriving - and therefore preventing more generations from taking their place.
• The Crisis Foster program which provides temporary care for the pets of families or individuals experiencing a crisis due to domestic violence, natural disaster (e.g., fire, flood, evacuation), or other catastrophic events.  The program serves as a safety net when there are no other options for the pets to be cared for, thus ensuring the safety of the family and their pet.

Will you support me and the amazing work the ARL does for pets in our community by donating just $15? All you have to do is go to my fundraising page and click donate.

For the pets,

Orlinda
