A Purposeful Life Animal Rescue, a new rescue that just started in Fall 2022, fills a unique niche in Northeast Iowa by focusing -- in its initial mission -- on rescues of stray and surrendered LOCAL pets. In contrast, other rescues are bringing in many pets from other parts of the country, which adds to the workload of local veterinary clinics that are already stretched thin. APL also practices transparency in its social media postings, which is appreciated. Finally, it is led by a passionate young Director whose Facebook stories about pets with special medical needs as well as made-in-heaven adoptions are very compelling.
We have been fosters, volunteers and adopters with this rescue. We have been involved with other rescues, but this rescue is different in the passion they bring to their work. Sadie and crew work tirelessly to make the animals that they save have the best experience and vetting while in their care and in helping these animals find their forever homes. They are constantly going above and beyond even if it means stretching themselves to their limit.
I just can't say enough about them.
