ARL Tree of Life

Give a gift to a pet in need this holiday season!

The Animal Rescue League of Iowa’s annual Tree of Life event is an opportunity to leave gifts for homeless pets under the tree and help supply the shelter with items the animals depend on every day.

Bring a Gift:

Choose an item from our Wish List and put it under the tree at one of our drop-off locations in the Des Moines metro.

Contactless Gifting:

Give a gift with an online order! When you donate items from our wish lists, they ship directly to us.


Gift a Day of Care:

It costs just $20 to gift 1 day of care to a homeless pet! Make a donation to a pet in need below and we’ll display an ornament at the ARL as a symbol of your donation. Ornaments can feature your name, the animal lover in your life, in memory of a loved one or pet, etc.

See all drop-off locations and needed items at the ticket link!
