The Animal Rescue League of Boston (ARL) is an unwavering champion for animals in need, committed to keeping them safe and healthy in homes. While they make every effort possible to help keep an animal where they belong, it's inevitable that some animals in need will make their way into shelters before they can be connected with a loving family. By partnering with communities, the ARL helps animals heal and thrive, keep pets and people together, and protect animals from harm. Because there is no government funding for this important work, animals must rely on people to get the care they need, when they need it most, 365 days a year.
