Review for Animal Lifeline of Iowa, Carlisle, IA, USA
The first time I visited AnimalLifeline I was looking to adopt a dog as a companion for my golden retriever. I was not successful with my first visit but I started checking their website and noticed they were needing volunteers so I applied. That was approx. 2-3 years ago and I am still volunteering. I work every thursday and have gained so much from the experience, including a bassett mix (Trigger) that had a broken leg ( he had been shot) but is now the best dog ever!! His sister loves him dearly and they bonded at their very first meeting. The staff and volunteers at Animal Lifeline are wonderful and really do care about what happens to all the animals that come in. Everyone that works there goes above and beyond, time and time again to find our animals wonderful forever homes. I may spend a small amount of time there each week but I have to say that it is the most rewarding experience of my week. Shelter animals are very appreciative of the care they receive and will show you over and over again what wonderful pets they can be.

Every week when I show up for work and every call, email, letter etc. I receive when I am not present giving the good news that one more pet has been adopted and will hopefully be going to their forever home.

Experiencing how caring everyone is and their willingness to go the extra mile to help the animals in their care.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Kind,caring,respectful
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Help rehabilitate even more animals. Alot of injured animals that are given up by their owners due to finances are killed because there are not many shelters willing to take them - Animal Lifeline would take them in.
