Starting 2010 off on the right paw! Worcester Animal Rescue League is moving forward under new management. The professional staff goes above and beyond each day to care for the pets at the shelter. However, like most organizations, WARL has been affected by the ailing economy. Monetary and supply donations have declined while more and more pets are surrendered or abandoned due to poor financial circumstances. In previous years animals were adopted within two weeks of arriving at the shelter. Now, some wait over five weeks to be adopted. More than ever, the Worcester Animal Rescue League needs your support Adopt. Volunteer. Donate. Together, we can make a difference. |

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 Several days 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: Payment 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.

Some breeders devocalize routinely so they can keep many dogs without complaints from neighbors. Occasionally, an uninformed or irresponsible pet owner will order this convenience surgery, rendering his “best friend” mute or chronically hoarse. These animals face serious risks regardless of the vet’s skill or how the vocal cords are cut.
