Ways to SUPPORT THE ARL OF BOSTON
Your tax-deductible gift to the Animal Rescue League of Boston will help to ensure that animals in distress receive the care they need, as well as a chance to be adopted into a caring home. In 2009, we must raise $2.25 million from generous donors like you in order to meet our annual operating budget needs.
There are a number of different ways that you can support the charitable efforts of the Animal Rescue League of Boston:

CeCe Fund

The CeCe Fund was established in 2006 by Amy Marder, VMD, CAAB, Director of the Center for Shelter Dogs, following the devastating loss of her beloved Australian terrier, CeCe. The CeCe Fund helps ensure a healthy, happy second chance for unwanted pets (like Kendall, shown at right) who arrive at our shelters with severe but treatable medical, surgical, or behavioral problems.

In either situation, we will send an attractive card by postal mail in recognition of the fact that a gift has been made to person you specify.
You may also choose to make a gift to celebrate an occasion, such as a birthday, anniversary, or wedding. We can supply appropriate certificates or tent cards to display at the event.
