Ray of Light Rescue
Rescue. Heal. Rehome
Proudly providing a safe haven for owner-surrendered pets in Jasper County. Our mission is to reduce the number of abandoned dogs by offering compassionate, foster-based care and responsible rehoming. We strive to keep pets out of overcrowded shelters that may resort to euthanasia, giving every animal a second chance at a loving home.
Why It Matters
Foster-based, no-kill rescues are essential because they provide personalized care in home environments, ease the strain on overcrowded shelters, and improve adoption outcomes. In Iowa, the need for these rescues is clear:
In 2023, the Animal Rescue League of Iowa took in over 5,200 dogs.
470 of those dogs were euthanized.
Iowa has only about 65 shelters and 37 rescues actively reporting.
With limited resources and high intake numbers, foster-based rescues play a critical role in saving lives and keeping animals out of euthanasia-prone shelters.
