Who we are:

The ARL is a leader in animal protection by keeping animals out of shelters with their people and by working to prevent neglect and abuse.

ARL’s Animal Care and Adoption services include intake and surrender, shelter and care, behavioral assessment, enrichment, and adoption. ARL has animals of many types, breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments at our adoption centers looking for permanent homes. These services are offered at three centers located in Boston, Brewster, and Dedham.
