Fletcher was surrendered after his owner needed to move and could not find a place that allowed dogs. Fletcher is a young, happy-go-lucky boy who is looking for an active family to go home with. The last couple of months Fletcher was being watched by a friend and he was living with two other dogs. Here at the shelter he seems a bit put off by the other dogs. It’s going to be important for us to find Fletcher the right fit, if his potential adopters have another dog at home already. This silly boy does have some things to learn because right now his only trick is sit. He is willing to put the effort into training as long as you’re willing to provide the support, exercise and of course the treats! Fletcher loves to get attention, loves to play and squeaky toys are his favorite, even though they don’t last long. We do believe this boy could live with children as long as they are respectful and supervised. If you would like more information about Fletcher or you would like to set up an appointment to meet him, please contact the shelter

WARL COVID-19 Procedures

As of Nov. 9, 2020

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 ACCEPTEDexcept 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.
