My Nonprofit Reviews

Words can not express how much I love, respect, and appreciate ARL Boston. A whole bunch of years ago, I discovered that I happened to live just one city block away from the ARL. After that, anytime I was feeling down, or stressed, or if I just happened to have free time, I would walk over and visit with the animals. I was always impressed by the friendliness of the staff, the cleanliness of the shelter, and of course, by how well they cared for the animals.
On an early spring day in 2013 (I will never forget!) I randomly decided to pop in… and that’s when I met one of the greatest loves of my life, and my best friend… my dog Mac.
ARL did what every rescue should do, and made sure to fully investigate my background, and my living situation, to ensure I would be bringing Mac into a safe, healthy, happy home. Because he was a “repeat visitor” at the shelter, they made sure I scheduled sessions with their behaviorist BEFORE granting the adoption. The love, care, and thoroughness all demonstrated what I already knew… ARL is the most amazing, dedicated, well-run organization..and it is my goal to support them as much as I am able, for the rest of my life. Thankfully, Mac is still with me, and every day when I look at his sweet face, I thank the universe for placing me a block away from the ARL all those years ago. ������
