Animal Advocacy

The Animal Rescue League of Boston (ARL) leads the way for animal welfare by working closely with legislators, nonprofit organizations, and volunteers to advance key laws and policies that benefit animals across Massachusetts.

Advocate for Animals

There are many ways to support our advocacy efforts, from contacting your legislators, to participating in events like our annual Lobby Day for Animals.
