Pet Adoption

Every pet deserves a loving home and you can help make that happen today! We provide medical care, vaccinations, spay/neuter, and socialization with our loving team of volunteers and staff so when you’re ready to open your home, they are ready to move in.  

Spay & Neuter Clinic

Our on site clinic provides shelter partners, RAL shelter pets, community cat programs and the public with access to low cost spay/neuter, and vaccination services that save lives and help reduce the homeless animal population.

Support

There are so many ways for you to support RAL: monetary donations, supplies, volunteering your time, fostering a pet, attending an event or hosting a fundraiser. As a non-profit organization, it’s your support that makes all of our lifesaving work possible.
