 About Us Animal Rescue of Carroll (A.R.C) is a group of volunteers who began working together in 2006 to help improve the welfare for domestic animals in Carroll County. Since it's start, Animal Rescue of Carroll has: - has grown to more than 20 active volunteers who help with the day to day operations including fostering, processing applications, grant writing, caring for dogs in the shelter, and much, much more.
- On January 27th, 2009, A.R.C. officially became a 501c3 Non-Profit organization allowing the public to make tax-deductible donations.
- On February 3rd, 2011, A.R.C. received it's shelter license from the Iowa Department of Agriculture. Volunteers worked to convert a small hog confinement building into a full operational dog shelter. The shelter is located on private property and houses 5 dogs runs. This shelter is not a traditional shelter with visiting hours and open intake.
- Since achieving it's shelter license, A.R.C. now assists Carroll County's local pounds with animals facing euthanasia. Between February 2011 and August 2011 more than 50 unclaimed dogs have been saved from euthanasia.
- A.R.C. is operating solely on generous volunteers who dedicate time to pets needing help as well spending time with their families, personal pets, and working their paying jobs. We could not be where we our today without our volunteers. A.R.C. and it's adoptable pets love them and appreciate them!
- A.R.C. receives no government funding. It operates from donations from the public, grants, fundraisers, and adoptions fees. Many times the adoption fees for an animal, do not cover the cost of it's care while awaiting for adoption. Without the generous support from our community and beyond, A.R.C. would not be able to assist the more than 200+ animals that come into our care every year.
 Strategies we are pursuing: - Provide placement assistance for pets needing home in the local area.
- Promote spaying and neutering- all adoptable animals are spayed and neutered before they go to their forever homes.
- Promote microchip placement in area pets to ensure lost animals are returned to their owners.
- Partner with animal welfare groups in the region to promote animal welfare initiatives.
