The no-kill Pet Refuge is operated by the North Kingstown-Exeter Animal Protection League (NKEAPL), which was founded and incorporated in 1968. In 1976, we added "Exeter" to our name. We are a private, nonprofit organization supported by on-going fundraising events (such as bazaars and tag sales), and the donations of time, money, and resources from friends, members, business leaders, and community leaders.

The mission of the no-kill Pet Refuge is to provide a warm home for abused and neglected animals and also for those animals who can no longer remain in their homes for a variety of reasons.

We supply our pets with all the love, attention, pet meds, and veterinary care they need.

The no-kill Pet Refuge is not supported by the town of North Kingstown or the state of Rhode Island; we do not receive any municipal or state funding.
