Worcester Animal Rescue League
Since 1912. Dedicated to Giving Animals the Life They Deserve.
Founded initially by a group of women determined to save overworked and abused farm horses, WARL’s services have expanded and changed to protect, care, and love our cats and dogs throughout Central Massachusetts. Our staff and volunteers are dedicated champions to this cause and act as caretakers for the animals and educators to their human counterparts. Without your support, however, nothing we do would be possible. WARL is a non-profit organization and your donations of money, time, supplies, homes, and love are vital to our cause and the lives of the animals in our care. Our sincerest thanks.

Featured Pet
Patrick Subaru dog of the month
We are SO excited to share our monthly partnership with our friends at Patrick Subaru. Each month they will welcome an adoptable dog in their showroom in order to help find some great and loving homes for our amazing animals.
Strawberry
Strawberry is a lovely girl. She is affectionate, quiet and housetrained. Strawberry loves to go for walks and does very well on leash. She enjoys meeting new people and enjoys her quiet time as well. Strawberry was brought to us without any information as to what her previous home life was like. Here at the shelter she has been an absolute love bug with staff. The dogs she has met at the shelter have been a bit too energetic for her taste and we are unsure if she would be comfortable living with another dog.
