Community Partners

The Animal Rescue League of Boston (ARL) an unwavering champion for animals in need.

To realize our vision of keeping animals safe and healthy in the communities where they live, ARL has been strategically building our community partnerships to help keep pets together with their families.

Working in the community is vital to our mission to support the animals and people that we serve – when and where they need us.

Through our partnerships and collaborations with other animal welfare organizations, human services non-profits, state and local municipalities, and others, ARL has gained a greater ability to provide low-cost, high-quality, and accessible services for over 20,900 animals each year.
