Letter from the President
& Chairman of the Board
Dear Friends:
We are pleased to share with you our highlights from 2012 and to
thank you for your generous contributions to our success.
In 2012, the Animal Rescue League of Boston rescued and treated over
4,500 animals. This milestone was made possible by the dedicated staff and
volunteers at the ARL. We are deeply grateful for their commitment to our
mission and for their tireless work all year long.
Building for the future, in May we cut the ribbon on the renovated
Dedham Shelter, a capital project brought to life by the contributions of so
many individuals, foundations and corporations.
InAugust,Dr.MarthaSmith-BlackmoreandLt.AlanBorgal’shardwork
overseveral yearspaidoffwhentheCommonwealth’sanimalwelfarecommunity
celebrated the passage of S.2192 “An Act Further Regulating Animal Control,”
the first substantive reform of animal regulations in 78 years.
2012 was also a year of leadership transition at the ARL. Jay Bowen stepped
downasPresidentinMayandDr.MarthaSmith-BlackmorebecameInterim
PresidentuntiltheBoardofDirectorsappointedMaryNeeasPresidentin
December. We congratulate Martha for her stewardship during this transition
and are delighted that we will continue to benefit from her expertise and passion
inhernewroleasVicePresidentofAnimalWelfare.
On our Board of Directors, Malcolm McDonald was elected as the new
Board Chair in April and Richard Davey as a new Board member. We wish
to recognize and thank retiring Board Chair, Paul Brennan, for his 35 years of
Board membership and service to the ARL.
We cannot underscore enough that without the support
of people like you, our work — to rescue domesticated
animals and wildlife from suffering, cruelty, abandonment
and neglect — would not be possible.
Thank you for the animals you saved and the human companionship
you made possible in 2012.
Sincerely,

“The League is unlike
any other nonprofit.”
— Glenn Meckelburg
Anna Harris Smith Legacy Society,
past adopter
More than 40 years ago, Glenn began training to become a
nurse anesthesiologist by assisting the veterinarians at the Animal
Rescue League of Boston. His experience had a profound impact
on his connection to the organization: “Working with people who
truly cared about the animal’s welfare left me with lifelong positive
memories of the ARL.”
He adopted his first dog from the League and has had a variety
of cats and dogs over the years. He currently has two beautiful
Bengal cats, Aja and Simon — a brother and sister pair.
Glenn’s lifelong passion for animals and support for the League
inspired his decision to join the Anna Harris Smith Legacy Society.
In Glenn’s own words, “I am choosing to leave a legacy with
the League for many reasons, but the main one is I know that the
money I am giving to the League will go directly to save animals’
lives, as well as to bring joy to the families that adopt an animal
into their home.”

“Animals need a voice.
Volunteers and staff who work
at the League give them a voice.”
— Lisa Clifton
President’s Council, donor
to the Dedham Facility
Renovation Project
Lisa first learned about the
League when she attended the
April 2011 Open House event at
the Dedham shelter. With the
help of generous donations from
people like Lisa, the Dedham facility
received a complete renovation.
“I was truly inspired by the mission
of the League,” she explains, “and
I donated in honor of the animals
who have meant so much to me
over the years.”
After losing her beloved 10-year old Leonberger and nursing her broken heart, Lisa adopted
a second-generation “Katrina” dog Logan. A year later, Lucy — the sweetest dog anyone would
want to meet and, like her brother, also from New Orleans — joined the family.
As a President’s Council member, Lisa’s continued support helps to further the League’s
efforts to care for neglected, abused, and homeless animals. “I have been very blessed to have
the means to provide high-quality care for my four-legged family members,” she explains,
“and I wanted to share that with animals who are not so fortunate.”
The Animal Rescue League, she says, “is that wonderful safety net.”

“I am fascinated and inspired
by what the League does
as well as its history — that made me
decide to become a supporter. ”
— Pam Bankert
Annual Fund donor, Brewster shelter volunteer,
past League foster parent, past adopter,
past Spay Waggin’ volunteer
After her two dogs won first runner up in a pet parade/costume
party in Orleans as a fundraiser for the League in 2003, Pam became
a volunteer at the shelter, went on to foster over 20 animals in
her home for the organization, and also provided assistance at
Spay Waggin’ events. An appreciation for the League’s philosophy
of respect to all living things, she says, fuels her support for
the organization.
As a child, Pam shared her family’s New York City apartment
with an old English sheep dog and a boxer. She now has two dogs
adopted from the League: Ruby, a 5-year-old toy poodle, and Che
Guevara, a 10-year-old cat. They love each other and their standard
poodle sisters, 11-year-old Prudence and 6-year-old Jessie.
Pam donates to the Annual Fund to help sustain the programs
and services that improve the lives of animals. She points to the
League’s spay/neutering efforts: “Education about spay/neutering
makes such a big difference.”
Also thanks to support from Annual Fund donors like Pam,
the League’s shelters continue to offer a welcoming, clean,
and inviting environment. As she explains, “when people feel
comfortable in the shelters they talk to people and learn about
how best to care for animals.”

“I know that my money
is going directly to help the animals
at the organization.”
— Julie Mackin
President’s Council, Champions Circle,
regular attendee of Boston shelter events,
Rescue Team client
Almost 10 years ago, Julie Mackin wanted to give money to
a local charitable organization that helped animals in her own
backyard. After extensive research, the League’s work resonated
with her most: “I loved how the League included all animals,
horses, rabbits, and birds!”
She also called on the League’s Rescue Team to help with
an injured goose that had wandered into her backyard. Her
experience with the rescue technician’s patience and compassion
for the animal drew her even closer to the League’s work.
Julie feels a strong confidence in the League’s financial
management and diversity of programs that help ensure all
animals receive the same level of care and compassion as her
cherished canine, a 7-year-old German Shepard. “The Spay
Waggin’ and the Center for Shelter Dogs are wonderful
programs that go beyond merely sheltering animals for
a short time,” she says.
Julie decided to become a Champions Circle member in
2007 because she believes it is critical to fund the organization
throughout the year. By offering members the opportunity to give
on a monthly basis, Champions Circle members like Julie can give
more because they can spread their donation over 12 months.
