Meet Rufus! This big boy was surrendered after his owners had a change in their lifestyle and they were no longer able to care for him. Rufus enjoys walks, romps in the snow, playing with toys and treats. He is a thinker and is very smart. He is a big teddy bear, weighing in at 113 pounds and is looking for an experienced Rottweiler owner. He appreciates a slow introduction when getting to know new people. Rufus has never lived with other dogs and is aloof when meeting them, for this reason we feel a home with no animals would be best. He has been around children before, but he does get startled easily at the shelter, so older children like teens and up would be best. He loves affection and will lean into you for more. If you’re sitting down he will lay his big head on your lap. I’m not sure who this is more comforting for, him or us. Rufus is currently on a diet and looking for a walking buddy who can help him shed that holiday weight. If you would like more information about this handsome man or you would like to make an appointment to meet him, please contact our shelter.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, we want to share with you some changes we have implemented so that we can continue to serve the pets and people of our community while keeping our team protected. • ADOPTIONS: At this time, adoptions are being held BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. If you are interested in adoption, please visit our website worcesterarl.org/adopt/ to learn more about our available animals then call us at (508) 853-0030 ext.0 or email us at info@worcesterarl.org to schedule an appointment. • Casual visits to the shelter are prohibited. We will strictly enforce this in order to keep our animal care team protected while still maintaining the most essential function of our operation...finding homes for animals in need. • ANIMAL SURRENDERS: Our business practice for surrendering a pet remains the same. All pet owners must contact WARL in advance of surrendering a pet. Please call (508) 853-0030. • SPAY/NEUTER CLINICS: All scheduled appointments will be honored. If you have a scheduled appointment, we will be contacting you to discuss changes to our drop off/pick up procedures. • DONATIONS ACCEPTED except
for open bags of food. • Pet food, cat litter, and other shelter supplies will be essential in continuing to provide for our animals and to assist community members in need. To avoid unnecessary travel and exposure, items can be purchased online from our Amazon Wishlist - https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3AX342JIL73M0 • Weekly training classes are going on for adopters. • The WARL Volunteer Program is temporarily suspended. All regular volunteer shifts are on hold. We look forward to welcoming you back as soon as we can. We have many animals in our care who depend on us to stay healthy and well. The above measures help to protect our staff and community from the spread of COVID - 19 by minimizing face-to-face interactions while continuing to operate only core essential services. Please continue to follow our Facebook page for additional updates. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact the shelter at (508) 853-0030 or info@ worcesterarl.org.
Thank you for your continued FURiendship and support.
