Sat, May 3, 2025 – Monthly Puppy Store Protest
Ever since The Puppy Palace in Manchester, NH opened its doors in May 2023, NHARL has been peacefully protesting the store to warn the public and would-be shoppers about puppy mills and promote “Adopt Don’t Shop.”
With the colder weather, our once weekly protests are now monthly — the first Saturday of the month from 12:00 to 1:00 pm. Signs will be provided.
The larger the crowd, the more attention we can bring to the issue, so join us for whatever portion you can and bring your friends.
Park in the TJ Maxx Plaza on South Willow in Manchester (14 March Ave.) and meet us on the public sidewalk along on South Willow.
After the protest, join us for refreshments at Panera.

Ever since The Puppy Palace in Manchester opened its doors, we have been out in force protesting this business and making sure that Gus — a puppy who died at the store — is not forgotten. What happened to Gus?
May 1-31, 2025 – Manchester Vegan Chef Challenge
Kicking off May 1, 2025, we are hosting a Vegan Chef Challenge in Manchester! This month-long event created by Vegan Outreach is designed to showcase new vegan menu items created by local restaurant chefs.
We’re inviting Manchester restaurants to join the Vegan Chef Challenge and compete by creating delicious vegan dishes for diners to enjoy!

Diners vote for their favorite dishes, and restaurants with winning dishes receive awards!
The Vegan Chef Challenge has been a hit in other cities, including Newton, MA. Participating restaurants tend to keep popular vegan items on their menus even after the challenge ends!
This exciting, feel-good event will bring more delicious vegan options to Manchester and help move the world toward a kinder, animal-free food future.
