Compassion Can’t Be Quarantined Your unwavering support continues life-saving work for animals in need In March 2020, Massachusetts declared a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many organizations were forced to close their doors, but ARL did not. While some temporary operational changes were needed, no animals were turned away. Thanks to your support, ARL is prepared to face emergency circumstances such as these head-on. Your donations allowed us to continue our critical care for animals in need both behind-the-scenes and on the front lines. You gave us the ability to nimbly shift our operations to focus on the areas where we could be the most help to the people and animals in our community. “I am so grateful for the incredible dedication of our donors, volunteers, staff, and community over the recent months to keep our vital operations going,” says Dr. Edward Schettino, ARL President & CEO. “The next few pages demonstrate just a fraction of the important work for animals that YOU made possible during this uncertain time.”
