Darbster Rescue embarked on an innovative project that expanded our ability to save and transport homeless animals to forever homes. We reached out to valued supporters like you to tell you about and request your support for “THE MALL PROJECT.”

Each year, Darbster Rescue has increased the transport of dogs and cats from the South to New England. With annual transports exceeding 3,000 animals and our existing shelter facilities operating at maximum capacity, we began a transformative initiative that allowed us to increase transports and adoptions by an estimated 30-40%.

The Mall Project encompassed the creation of a 4,000-square-foot adoption center with an outdoor play yard within the popular Mall of New Hampshire in Manchester. With over a million visitors each year, the Mall of New Hampshire offered a prime platform to showcase our rescues and increase adoptions. The walk-by traffic also helped us raise awareness of our cause among a diverse audience of potential adopters, volunteers, and supporters.

We have now moved to the Merrimack Outlets and hope you’ll visit us there soon!
