About this organization
Mission
As the heart of a humane community and in partnership with that community, the Potter League for Animals is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of animals. We promote the humane treatment of all animals and provide shelter and care for lost or unwanted companion animals. Through community education, commitment to a standard of excellence in the care of animals, and fostering relationships between people and animals, we enhance the animals' lives and enrich the human experience.
About
Sheltering and adoptions - The Potter League welcomed 1,985 dogs, puppies, cats, kittens and small pets to our shelter, a 20% increase over the previous year. The Potter League achieved a 100% placement rate for all healthy, adoptable dogs and cats and a 96% save rate for all animals who came to us, regardless of their age, temperament, or physical condition. No healthy, adoptable animals were euthanized and the league continues to invest in behavior, foster and veterinary programs to ensure even more animals are rehabilitated and adopted. We found new homes for 1,557 animals, 37% more than last year. 272 lost animals were reunited with their owners. Our Fetching Friends transfer program gave a 'second chance' to 785 animals from overcrowded shelters in Rhode Island and across the country, a 46% increase. These transfers are carefully coordinated to ensure no local homeless animals are denied service at the Potter League. Because of this transfer program, we are able to give animals facing an uncertain future the promise of new homes. We also worked closely with law enforcement agencies to provide safe-keeping, medical care and placement for the animals confiscated in animal cruelty cases. To support families in crisis, we provide emergency housing, food, veterinary care, and lost and found services for hundreds of animal companions each year. The Potter League provided free veterinary wellness clinics to residents of public housing including physical exams, vaccines and microchips to animals whose families would not otherwise be able to afford care. Our pet food bank and veterinary assistance programs supported animals who belong to families with low or moderate incomes. We supplied 4,421 pounds of pet food to food pantries and people in need and subsidized $21,198 in veterinary care for people who could not afford care for their pets. The league's PetSafe program provided emergency housing and care for 37 pets of victims of domestic violence, natural disasters, fires and other crisis situations for a total of 396 days. The Potter League proudly works collaboratively with other animal welfare groups to prevent future animal problems and is a founding member of the Ocean State Animal Coalition and its Rhode Island community spay-neuter clinic. Collaboration is critical to our mission. The Potter League partners with the Martin Luther King Center's food pantry. The Aquidneck Land Trust, Norman Bird Sanctuary, Narragansett Bay Coyote Study, the RI Natural History Survey and the Potter League work together on CoyoteSmarts. Our executive director serves on the board of the Association for Animal Welfare Advancement, the Ocean State Animal Coalition, the National Animal Sheltering and Rescue Coalition and the Shelter Advisory Board for Hill's Pet Nutrition. These activities enable us to bring the best practices in animal welfare back to Rhode Island.
