What type of shelter is Worcester Animal Rescue League? Worcester Animal Rescue League is considered to be a no-kill shelter because it’s not a kill shelter. That’s not meant to be a play on words. A no-kill shelter is a difficult term to define (look it up online) and an even more difficult policy to implement. Rather than add to the confusing definitions, we’ll tell you about Worcester Animal Rescue League. (click here to continue reading...) Together, we can make a difference. |

Special Announcements Need to surrender your pet? We want to find them a good home. No one knows and loves your pet the way you do! In order to find the most appropriate home for your pet, please provide as much detail as possible about history, past veterinary care, likes, dislikes and quirks of your friend. Download Cat Surrender Form If you have a cat that you need to surrender, and you would like more information, please contact petshelp@aol.com If you have a dog that you need to surrender, and you would like more information, please contact DogsWARL@gmail.com Owners need to submit a picture of their pet, whether it's emailed in or photocopied Appointments must be made to surrender any pet. Rabies Vaccination/Microchip Clinic Each year more than 10 million pets are lost. According to the American Humane Association, only about 17% of lost dogs and 2% of lost cats ever find their owners. Nearly 20 million pets are euthanized each year because their owners cannot be located. If your pet is microchipped, there is a much greater chance that they will return to you safely. Take the time to protect your pets. Microchips are only $25.00, but being reunited with your lost friend is priceless. No appointment necessary. The Rabies Vaccination/Microchip Clinic will take place at the shelter once a month from 5 to7 pm. Call for more details. Worcester Animal Rescue League's Low Cost Spay/Neuter Clinics Each month, the shelter opens up the surgery suite for your pet to be spayed or neutered. Blood testing and vaccines can be provided the same day for additional costs. Space is limited so call early and make your appointment fast! Fees are as follows: We offer the Bordatella vaccine for $15 Payment by cash or credit card is due at the time of drop off. A confirmation call will be made a few days before the scheduled appointment. If you do not confirm with us, we can not guarantee that your pet will have surgery that day. Because we are a clinic, and not an animal hospital, we will not do surgery on animals over the age of 4, and we reserve the right to deny surgery on any pet. Learn about the benefits of spaying/neutering your pet.
