The Salem Animal Rescue League (SARL) saves the lives of abandoned, neglected and injured animals by providing a safe haven, compassionate care and new permanent homes for them. SARL educates and promotes awareness about humane care and treatment of animals and is committed to reducing overpopulation primarily through its 100% spay/neuter policy to improve the quality of life of the animals and public we serve.
In order to make the proper match between you and your new family member, we take many things into consideration. Placing a pet in a new home that is best for the family and their new companion pet is what we consider most important. We do not place pets on a first come, first served basis. If you see a cat or dog on our website that you are interested in, please call before driving a long distance to make sure he/she is in our shelter and currently available. Some animals have a high interest level and may get adopted faster than we can remove them from our website, and some animals are placed in temporary foster homes and may not be in our shelter during every open hour. Every situation is different, so please understand that we are trying to make the best match for both you and our animal friends! If the right match does not occur today, it doesn't mean it will not occur the next time around. Our adoption counselors are trained to help you find the right pet for your family.
