Giving Back
Harper & Tucker partners with Rhode Island's animal shelter, The Potter League for Animals to run periodic fund raisers.
Founded in 1929, The Potter League is an "open admission" shelter helping as many pets as possible. Annually, they take in approximately 2,000 domestic dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small animals to provide food, housing, training, and vaccinations. The Potter League consistently maintains a Live Release Rate of 90% or higher by placing animals with new families, returning them to their owners, or releasing them to another rescue group. They take in everything from the ill, dangerous, and poorly behaved to highly adoptable animals already ready for their forever home.
The Potter League also provides a wide array of resources for pet owners, from allergy education to low cost spay/neuters and vaccinations. The Potter League services nearly 2,000 animals with vaccinations for low-income pet owners, obedience training, and behavior support each year.
Harper & Tucker partners with the Dorcas International Institute of Rhode Island (DIIRI) in Providence, RI for their Annual Holiday Clothing Drive.
In 2013, DIIR was born from the union of two Rhode Island organizations: The International Institute of Rhode Island and the Dorcas Place Adult and Family Literacy Center. Dorcas Place’s mission was to assist low-income adults to realize their full potential through literacy, collaboration, advocacy and community involvement. Since joining forces with the International Institute of Rhode Island, the original mission transformed into an all-encompassing effort to provide education and job readiness opportunities along with legal services for citizenship, immigration and refugee resettlement programs in Rhode Island.
