      • Donate to the Animal Rescue League. On average, each animal costs the League about $500 in food, shelter, and medical care. To help the shelter cover some of those costs, the League accepts donations at www.rescueleague.org, or checks can be sent to the Animal Rescue League of NH, 545 Route 101, Bedford, NH 03110.
      • Volunteer to help the Animal Rescue League in caring for homeless animals.
      • Adopt a pet!
      For more information, call the League at 472-3647.
