Sat., Jun 13, 2026 – Portsmouth Market Square Day

We’re excited to announce that NHARL will be partnering with Voices of Wildlife in NH at Portsmouth Market Square Day again this year! 

This is a full day event (9 am to 4 pm) with an estimated 50,000 people walking through, so we’ll need lots of help in our tent!

Expanding on last year’s topic of safe and humane rodent management, we’ll address other pesticides that also threaten wildlife and biodiversity, including mosquito spraying and neonicotinoids.

This is a full day event (9 am to 4 pm) with an estimated 50,000 people walking through! Volunteers are warmly welcomed! Click signup button or email info@nhanimalrights.org

Sat, Jun 6, 2026 – 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.” 

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.
