Worcester Animal Rescue League is committed to making adoption a success for the adopter and the animal.

In your adoption folder, we�ve enclosed tips, tricks and solutions to the most common issues people face with new pets. Feel free to call the shelter at 508-853-0030 with any questions!

Your safety and the safety, happiness and well-being of our shelter animals are our top priority. WARL reserves the right to deny adoption to anyone for any reason at any time.
