Worcester Animal Rescue League

Worcester Animal Rescue League www.worcesterarl.org Founded in 1912 by a group of women determined to save overworked and abused farm horses, WARL continues this legacy of love for animals.
(745)

As a private, non-profit organization that does not receive any county, state, or federal funding, WARL relies heavily on the generosity of donors and volunteers. The facility annually assists over 2500 cats, dogs, kittens, and puppies in the communities surrounding Worcester MA. Programs and services include lost and found, boarding, adoptions, low-cost spay/neuter & vaccine clinics, educational

programs, foster and volunteer opportunities. Now the largest animal shelter in Central Massachusetts, WARL is a limited intake shelter, accepting pets only when enough kennel space is available; it does not believe in time or space limits for adoptable pets, and uses every resource available to place each one.

Thank you to everyone who sent well wishes, shared, and offered to help our sweet girl, Valentina! We are thrilled to share the news that Valentina is now with her wonderful foster Mom where she is being doted on and loved. Her foster Mom said she settled right in her new home and is comfortable and happy. We, in turn, couldn’t be happier for her.

It takes a special human being to take on a dog like Valentina. We are truly grateful. Join us in sending them both some love.💜

When our friends at Greater Good Imperial Brewing Company reached out to adopt a brewery cat we knew this handsome, loving, and feisty boy would be a purr-fect match. We couldn’t be prouder that he now has a fabulous beer named after him. Introducing CITRA! Visit Greater Good to give this Belgian-inspired brew a try and thank them for the support they give to our shelter pets!

Valentina is looking for a foster, hospice home.💜

Valentina is a 3-year-old sweetheart who has a rare breast cancer called inflammatory mammary carcinoma, for which there is no treatment other than palliative care. We are unsure how much time Valentina has before the cancer spreads to other places in her body that are not compatible with a good quality of life. Despite this bleak prognosis, we would like Valentina to spend her remaining time in a loving, cozy home. Valentina is still a wiggly, happy girl who loves affection! She does not like other dogs, but loves every human she meets.

If you are interested in learning more about this special girl, contact us at [email protected]. Thank you!

Charlotte is starting the new year off looking and feeling her best after a spa day at Shear Love Pet Grooming.🐕🫧

Charlotte is a sweet young girl who is full of energy, love and affection! She gets along well with other dogs, and loves playing with toys, running around in the pen and going on walks. Our staff and volunteers adore her!

Please join us in thanking Rachel, owner of Shear Love, for the extra love and pampering she gives our shelter pups! 💜

We want to extend our gratitude to everyone who made this holiday season special! We loved seeing dear, old friends who visited the shelter and enjoyed meeting so many wonderful, new ones. We appreciate every gift received. Every gift is meaningful. Every gift allowed us to help the animals who came through our doors this year—the neediest of animals in our community—animals like Ziggy.

Monetary donations allow us to help animals like Ziggy, who came to us in very rough shape. Ziggy was dropped off at a local veterinary emergency hospital and was transferred to us in early November. We are grateful to our staff and veterinarians who have loved him and nursed him to health. We wouldn’t have been able to provide the treatment and care he received if not for YOU!

As the countdown to the new year approaches, we ask that you consider making a life-saving, year-end gift today. Ziggy, and all the animals and humans at WARL, thank you.

It’s the last day of December AND the last day of 2024 and adoptable Cutie Pie subscribes to the philosophy that you save the best for last! ☺️

Meet Cutie Pie. True to her name, this sweetheart is looking for a new home and a fresh start. Cutie Pie has bonded well with the staff who care for her daily but can be shy and cautious around new people. Once she is comfortable, she has so much affection to give and willingness to learn. She would do best with gentle owners who have cared for dogs previously and can help build her confidence. Cutie Pie weighs 60 lbs, enjoys going for walks and is very treat motivated. She can be excitable when meeting new dogs. If there will be kids in her new home, they should be older teens. We have no history of Cutie Pie living with cats. If you think Cutie Pie would be a great fit for your family, please complete a dog adoption inquiry form under her profile or contact us at [email protected].

Thank you, Patrick Subaru, for featuring Cutie Pie as your December 2024 Dog of the Month. We are so thankful for another year of your support and help in finding our adoptable dogs new homes.

Meet Cutie Pie, our December Worcester Animal Rescue League Dog of the Month!

Here's her bio from WARL: "Meet Cutie Pie! True to her name, this sweetheart is looking for a new home and a fresh start. Cutie Pie has bonded well with the staff who care for her daily but can be shy and cautious around new people. Once she is comfortable, she has so much affection and willingness to learn. She would do best with gentle owners who have cared for dogs previously and can help build her confidence. Cutie Pie weighs 60lbs and enjoys going for walks and is very treat motivated. She can be excitable when meeting new dogs, but may be able to live with other dogs who are very good at meeting and playing with other dogs. If there are to be kids in her new home, they should be older teens. We have no history of Cutie Pie living with cats. If you think Cutie Pie would be a great fit for your home, please fill out the Dog Adoption Inquiry Form listed under her bio. That would be the first step! All adoption meets are by appointment, thank you."

Thank you to our friends at Veterinary Urgent Care Center in Worcester for taking such wonderful care of our Lilo and Beau, who both needed medical attention recently on days we didn’t have a Veterinarian on-site. Working with your outstanding team has been a pleasure!
