Mission & History
The League’s mission is to provide for the rescue and relief of suffering of homeless animals and perform charitable or benevolent acts for the welfare of animals.
Since 1913, The Providence Animal Rescue League (PARL) has been serving Providence and the state of Rhode Island and is dedicated in improving the lives of companion animals within our community.
PARL is a not-for-profit 501 (c) (3) organization and does not receive any state or federal funding. We rely soley upon the generosity of the individuals and businesses in our community to fund our critical programs and services. We encourage and appreciate any financial support to assist us with our mission. We accept both monetary and in kind donations and have many innovative donor programs.
Each gift, large or small, makes a difference in the life of an animal and the community we live in.
