Will You Lend a Helping Paw?

Your participation and/or contribution will help improve the lives of the pets in our care while they wait for a loving home, whether it's a cat that's been surrendered by her owner who can no longer care for her, or a dog that's arrived at ARRI looking for a second chance. 

Be a Part of Something Pawsome!

Bark on the Beach is ARRI’s biggest community dog walk and fundraiser of the year, and we need YOU to make it a success! On September 14th, gather your friends, family, and furry companions for a fun-filled, mile-long dog walk at Narragansett Town Beach. Whether you walk solo or form a team, every donation, tail wag, and step helps us reach our $50,000 goal to support animal care and programs across Rhode Island.


This year marks our 14th annual celebration, and we’re counting on our amazing community to make it the best one yet. Fundraise, walk, and make a difference.
