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!
UPDATE: Unfortunately, due to the forecasted weather, we have made the difficult decision to cancel Bark on the Beach at Narragansett Town Beach on Sunday, September 13.
While we can't control the weather, we can still make the most of the morning, and we'd love to see you at the shelter!
Join us on Sunday, September 13, from 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM at:
Animal Rescue Rhode Island
506B Curtis Corner Road
Peace Dale, RI 02879
