Animal Lifeline Thrift Shop
About the Business
Animal Lifeline Thrift Shop is a store located at 3304 Southwest 9th Street in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. The shop supports Animal Lifeline of Iowa (ALI), a special needs, no-kill animal shelter founded in 1986. ALI rescues and rehabilitates cats and dogs that are injured, handicapped, abused, or have serious medical conditions. The animals are then adopted into loving forever homes. The thrift shop helps raise funds for the shelter's mission of reducing the number of special needs animals that are euthanized. If you have an animal that meets their acceptance criteria, you can contact the shelter for assistance. ALI's animals receive complete veterinarian care from VCA Avondale Animal Hospitals. The shelter is committed to saving every animal in their care and does not euthanize healthy or treatable pets. Visit the thrift shop to support this important cause and help give these animals a second chance at a happy life.

"Absolutely good people. I don’t donate anywhere else. Cheap, great quality items. Their flash sales can’t be beat. This is a NFP that gives your bucks to pay vet bills! No big corporate swindle! It’s a true charity thrift store."
"This place does so much good and offers so much care to special needs cats and dogs that I want to support them whenever I can. The thrift shop supports this mission and is a fun and interesting place to visit."
"Love this thrift shop! My kids and I find the greatest things here at super low prices. Every time we come in we find another steal!"
"Very large store! Found a lot of great stuff! Prices were very good. Many thrift stores have started charging consignment store prices the past few years. It was a refreshing change! Workers were super nice! My only suggestion to better your store would be to take more time when putting stuff out on the floor. I understand you can’t look at every clothing item and that’s just part of the thrift game. Sometimes you will find items that have holes, stains or minor defects. However, I saw so many men’s shirts and blazers that were extremely gross with a saturated yellow sweat neck and that I don’t think you can overlook. Some long sleeve shirts had major gashes to the point where the sleeve was nearly falling off yet it was still put on the rack for sale. I only add that because overtime that will be a deterrent for many people including myself coming back to a place that will literally put out anything that is donated to them. The Salvation Army used to do that and it was an absolute dealbreaker for me to go there for many years. I leave this only as constructive criticism and hope you take it in the fashion it was intended. It isn’t to put your store down but only to help you. I will definitely be back but over time, if that stuff continues to be put out I probably would go elsewhere."
"The store is deceptively large. It's absolutely massive when you get inside and not an inch of space is wasted. Everything is very organized and neatly marked (one thing which is sorely lacking at a lot of thrift stores), and prices are posted in easy-to-find places as well. The staff run a tight ship. The few we met were very sweet and helpful. Can't beat the prices - or the selection, really! We can't wait to go back!"
