  FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

Kittens

  • When is the best time to adopt kittens?
    The spring months are the time that the shelter sees the most kittens. However, we do get them in throughout the year.
  • Is there a waiting list for kittens?
    No, there is not a waiting list for kittens. It is suggested to call the shelter to inquire if there are any kittens available at that time. (603-472-3647)

Limited Admission Shelter

  • What is a Limited Admission Shelter?
    The Animal Rescue League of NH is considered a Limited Admissions shelter. This term means that the shelter takes animals by appointment only and the animal must meet certain standards to ensure adoptability. No animals will be euthanized for lack of space or after a predetermined time limit. Once an animal enters our adoption program, they will remain at the shelter until they are adopted. However, if any animal is considered un-adoptable for severe medical issues or if the animal shows aggressive behavior, the shelter staff would have to make the choice to euthanize the animal. Because of these policies, The Animal Rescue League of NH is NOT considered a "no-kill shelter".

Puppies

  • Do you get Puppies in and how can I get one?
    The Animal Rescue League of NH does not see too many puppies. The State of New Hampshire has a reputable spaying and neutering service. The shelter keeps a "puppy file". We recommend coming in and filling out an application. The applications are kept on file and when puppies come in, qualifying applications will be contacted.

Volunteering

  • How old do you have to be to volunteer at the shelter?
    In order to volunteer here, you must be at least 12 years old. All children between 12 and 15 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian while volunteering.
  • How do I start volunteering?
    All volunteers are required to attend a volunteer orientation prior to volunteering. Please call the shelter to sign up for the orientation. (603-472-3647
