Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire

The Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that helps more than 2,000 cats, dogs, and small animals each year. The ARLNH was founded in 1902 and incorporated in 1904.

Being more than a shelter, ARLNH also employs one of only three shelter-based Animal Cruelty Investigators in the state. To help people who love their pets, but are currently struggling to care for them, ARLNH offers community outreach programs, such as a Pet Food Pantry and Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Clinics.


Many of our services are open to all residents of NH, with a focus on the local communities of Amherst, Auburn, Bedford, Brookline, Candia, Dunbarton, Francestown, Goffstown, Hollis, Hooksett, Hudson, Litchfield, Londonderry, Lyndeborough, Manchester, Merrimack, Milford, Mont Vernon, New Boston, Peterborough, Wilton, and Windham.
