Faxon Animal Care & Adoption Center

501c3 nonprofit organization. Our Massachusetts License number 0070. Our Mission: The Animal Rescue League of Fall River is dedicated to the protection and enhancement of the quality of life of animals through Shelter and Clinic Programs, Education, Advocacy, and Service. Our History: The League, founded in 1914, is a private non-profit, charitable organization with a 501(c)(3) status which does not receive any government funding or tax dollars. We are supported solely by grants, special events, and program services, as well as by private donations from generous and caring people in our community. ​ The Animal Rescue League is guided by the principle of community engagement with the goal of building partnerships that would enhance the quality of life of the animals in our care. Our staff works extremely hard to find good, permanent, loving homes for animals that have been abandoned, neglected, abused, relinquished, or found homeless. ​ We are a no-kill shelter. The Animal Rescue League of Fall River saves the lives of hundreds of animals per year, and places over 400 cats, dogs, kittens, and puppies a year. No animal is euthanized unless it is on a veterinarian’s advice to end or prevent pain and suffering from a terminal, untreatable illness or physical ailment. ​​​ We hope you take some time to browse our site and learn more about the life-saving work we carry out at the Animal Rescue League of Fall River.
