Community Service
At the Animal Rescue League of Marshalltown, we welcome individuals seeking to complete community service hours. We evaluate requests on a case-by-case basis, but please note that we do not accept individuals with convictions involving any type of assault. Our primary focus is on maintaining a safe and positive environment for both our animals and volunteers.
Your donation is their chance to be seen, to be cared for, and to know what it’s like to feel safe. Without you, many may never find the home they deserve
