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.

Hershey
Hershey is a wonderful boy! Sweet, shy, curious and playful Hershey is one of a kind. This gentle soul is worth getting to know. Since arriving at the shelter Hershey has learned to walk on leash and enjoys playing with other gentle dogs. Treats and toys are just one way to this boy’s heart. Hershey also enjoys walks and sunbathing. Having a reserved disposition, this sweet boy is looking for a quiet home without young children.
