Raise over $1.5 million to support the Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire’s (ARLNH) programs — adoption, surrender, outreach and humane education — so that we may continue helping more than 2,000 pets and the people who care for them each year. In addition, the ARLNH helps people who love their pets but are currently struggling to care for them with programs such as a pet food pantry, low-cost spay/neuter, Safe Haven Temporary Housing, and a Companion Animal Assistance Fund for one-time, non-emergency medical needs so that animals may remain in their loving homes.
Fundraising Events:
In 2026, we are looking forward to our 2nd annual Shelter Slumber Pawty and 6th annual Bidding For Paws Virtual Auction in the spring, and our 9th annual, award-winning Howl-O-Ween 5K Run/Walk in the fall. In addition to these fundraising events, the ARLNH will be hosting two $5,000 cash raffles as well as other small fundraisers. Throughout the year, organizations and individuals conduct fundraising events for which we are the designated beneficiaries.
Giving Opportunities:
As the ARLNH is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that does not receive any state or federal funding, we are 100% reliant upon the generosity of those in our communities. Opportunities for giving include: individual and corporate donations (one-time and monthly), fundraising events, grants, legacy giving, transport sponsorships, business partnerships, and our Medical Miracle Worker and Companion Animal Assistance Fund programs. Further information may be obtained at www.rescueleague.org/donate.
Volunteer Opportunities:
We are very proud to have been awarded the gold medal for “Best Place To Volunteer” in the Best of the 603 for 2023, 2024 and 2025! ARLNH volunteers are an important part of a dedicated team who are committed to helping animals find and stay in their forever homes. The ARLNH provides diverse opportunities to contribute and provide training to volunteers to continuously expand their skill set and stay current with animal protocols.
