Second Chance Animal Services Adoption Center

The People for Animals League is a private, non-profit, 501(c)3 organization devoted to assisting animals in nearby towns. It was established in 1989. We are working to encourage responsibility for animals, foster empathy and compassion, and deepen understanding. We organize the adoption of pets into suitable families, offer community-wide humane education programs, help with lost and found pets, and promote spaying and neutering of animals to reduce population growth.

Our goal is to locate each dog a forever home one at a time. Before we deliver our rescue dogs to their new home, we will make every effort to teach them how to behave in the real world. Before an adoption may be approved, each applicant will be thoroughly scrutinized, and there will be a foster period of at least two weeks. We do this to insure that the dog is the right fit for your home.

We offer services, instructional activities, and programs that promote public awareness of concerns involving animal health, disease, and cruelty.

In central Massachusetts and beyond, we are committed to the rescue, care, and placement of stray, abandoned, and surrendered companion animals.

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a volunteer-driven mission to keep pets with their beloved owners.

The Worcester Animal Rescue League's aim is to show compassion to every being that seeks our assistance by giving them shelter and care for their animals as well as respect and resources for themselves.
