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.
Join us in wishing the happiest of birthdays to our best boy Benjie!
Benjie brings joy wherever he goes, and even though it’s his birthday, he wants to share the love!
For Benjie’s 3rd Birthday he’s decided to host a fundraiser benefiting the animals at the Worcester Animal Rescue League! He’s also convinced Peter Alden, President & CEO of Bay State Savings Bank, to match all donations up to $7,500, which means WARL stands to gain $15,000!
Help Benjie reach his goal, and the animals at the rescue league, by donating here:

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.
George
July 2022 Patrick Subaru Dog of the Month
This adorable, little monkey is George! George is a one-year old cutie pie with quite the zest for life. How did he get the name George, you ask? This fun loving guy is as curious as they come!
Kennel life has been stressful for George but this smart cookie cozied up to the boss, quickly becoming BFF’s with our Executive Director, Kristin. George’s days are now spent hanging in her office listening to country music (Kenny Chesney, Old Dominion, and Zac Brown are his favorites), making guest appearances on zoom meetings, snoopervising parking lot antics from her window, sharing pet safe lunches and snacks, and being told he’s a good boy about 1,000 times a day (so don’t blame us if he has a bit of an ego). Seriously, since becoming Kristin’s office mate, we have learned a lot about him and he’s made significant progress from the scared pup who arrived as a local stray.
