The Potter League for Animals is Rhode Island’s go-to animal care and resource center, where we provide shelter, veterinary care, behavior training, spay & neuter, owner assistance programs, humane education, and the opportunity for thousands of animals to find loving homes each year.
The Potter League for Animals (PLFA) is a local, private, non-profit charitable organization dedicated to animal welfare. Every year, the Potter League for Animals provides direct care and services to help nearly 10,000 animals in need through programs in the community and our three facilities across Rhode Island.
The Potter League Animal Care and Adoption Center in Middletown, RI accepts owner-surrendered animals and stray animals from the communities with which we have an animal control-housing contract; Newport, Middletown, and Portsmouth.
