Giving a Helping Hand This GivingTuesday

Help People Keep Their Pet Alive When They Desperately Need Help

The Animal Rescue League of Boston is proud to partner with GivingTuesday for the second year in a row!

Our goal is to raise $5,000 for the Alice T. Whitney Helping Hand Fund on December 3. Please save the date! 

#GivingTuesday is a special call to action and creates a national day of giving around the annual shopping and spending season to inspire giving every day.

For many of us, our pets are important members of the family.

While you start your holiday shopping, please keep in mind that there are families who are sometimes forced to choose between paying their rent or getting Fido lifesaving surgery after he was accidentally hit by a car. On GivingTuesday we ask that you help those families by donating to the ARL’s Alice T. Whitney Helping Hand Fund.

The Fund provides financial assistance to families with limited economic means so they don’t have to make the agonizing choice between everyday necessities and caring for their pet at the time of an emergency.

Every Tuesday throughout the month of November we’ll share with you the story of a family and their pet, whose life was saved thanks to the Alice T. Whitney Fund.

You can give the gift of love and time to a family and their pet in their time of need.
