Animal Rescue Rhode Island - Peace Dale Pet Shelter

Animal Rescue Rhode Island

In 1938, a handful of concerned citizens recognized the need for a humane organization dedicated to the protection and care of stray, abandoned, and abused animals. They founded the Animal Rescue League of Southern Rhode Island (ARLSRI), establishing themselves as a non-profit organization in 1970. Now known as Animal Rescue Rhode Island (ARRI), the shelter has gone from its location in a barn supported only by volunteers, to the beautiful facility ARRI calls home today. Here, ARRI staff and volunteers continue to care for approximately 35 cats, 20 dogs, and other small animals, such as guinea pigs, at any given time. Today, ARRI is respected statewide as one of the few, local no-kill shelters. ARRI receives no federal, state, or local funding and depends on private and business donations, grants, sponsorships of our fundraising events, and generous donations from caring individuals! The success of the organization would not be possible without supporters like you!

Adoption Process

Animal Rescue Rhode Island’s goal is to find the best match possible between the animal and the adopting home. To ensure the placement of a pet into the proper home environment, potential owners are interviewed and must fill out an Adoption Application. The application asks information that helps us determine whether the home would be the right one for that particular pet. All applicants must be approved before they adopt a pet.
