"My fiance and I went to find a new addition to our family at Animal Rescue League of Boston," says Laura Chetwynd of Somerville.

"We saw E.C. and fell in love. The staff was helpful and quick to assist us. They came with us into the yard and told us about his history and needs. We later discovered that although E.C. was sweet, he had a few behavioral problems.

They have a behavioral specialist on staff, and her services were available at no additional charge. We've been very happy with their services."
