Review for Animal Lifeline of Iowa, Carlisle, IA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

After my doberman of 16 years passed on I decided that since he had been rescued from an abusive neighbor that any dog I got after that should be rescued animals not bought from pet shops or breeders. I found Animal Lifeline of Iowa online and read several of the stories stories on there site, I was impressed with what I saw and with the work they do there. Along with their great dedication to saving , caring for and placing animals in need of homes. I was especially impressed at the screening before I was allowed to become a parent of one of the animals here and the fact that as part of the agreement I was required by them to let them know if anything happened to the animal - and the fact that if I couldnt in fact care for the animal that I bring it back to Animal Lifeline. Which really showed me their dedication. I have adopted 3 dogs from them, we currently have Cooper in our family - a black lab/chow mix that we adopted in February of 2007. It is about 189 miles to Animal Lifeline from our home, but well worth the drive for the level of love, devotion and dedication that they show for every animal they rescue , as well as the attention they give to the adoptive "parents"
