The Potter League is the animal shelter of Newport County, Rhode Island, where we promote the humane treatment of all animals, while providing shelter and care for lost or unwanted companion animals.
We shelter unaccompanied companion animals and place them in safe and healthy homes.
We educate the community to embrace humane principals and provide the best care for their pets.
We provide community support programs which help all pet owners provide better lives for their pets.
We expand access to essential veterinary care for companion animals
The Potter League welcomes everyone considering adoption of a shelter animal. We encourage prospective adopters to fill out our questionnaire describing the kind of companion animal they desire. The resulting pet personality profiles and staff evaluations aid our adoption counselors in finding the right pet for each adopterâs lifestyle.
