Growing Old

 

   

Please make sure to call the shelter first to check on the adoption status
 of a particular animal that you have in mind as there may be applications pending for that animal.  Thank you!




Use Your Voice to Protect Theirs.

Then tell Beacon Hill: Cutting vocal cords to stifle a companion animal’s voice is inhumane. 
Pass An Act Prohibiting Devocalization of Dogs and Cats, House Bill 344,
quickly—without amendments introduced by those who profit from this cruelty.

 

You can make a difference in 5 minutes or less! Call today, even if you’ve called before:

 

·        House Speaker Robert DeLeo: 617-722-2500

AND

·        Your own State (Beacon Hill) legislators: www.wheredoivotema.com, enter your address,

then look for your “Rep and Senate in General Court”

 

House Bill 344 is endorsed by Forever Paws Animal Shelter, joined by Angell Animal Medical Center, shelters and rescue groups statewide, and concerned MA vets. Make sure your vet is among them!

URGENT NEED....
Pet Food, Cat Litter, & Blankets! 

The shelter is currently in urgent need of dry pet food !!  Despite good adoption rates, we have had over 100 cats housed here consistently since the summer.  Our regular corporate donors give us what they can, but we are running "dry".  Any brand or kind is good, and someone is in the building from 8 am - 4 pm every day to receive your donation.  We are also in need of blankets for the dogs as the weather is getting cold.  Thank you!

 

 

 

 


The Animal Rescue Site

Now you can help The Animal Rescue Site choose which eligible Petfinder.com animal rescue organizations will receive special funds to help animals! Voting is simple: just select your Country and (if U.S. or Canada) State/Province. All other fields are optional and accept partial (but not misspelled or inaccurate) information. 

You can cast one vote every day for your favorite rescue organization.

 


Low Cost Vaccination / Microchipping Clinics

Our first vaccination / microchipping clinic was a great success!  The next scheduled date is the first Friday of each month.  Time:  10 - 12.  Take advantage of this opportunity to update your overdue or unvaccinated pet.

More information can be found by clicking on the graphic to your left.

 

 


 


 

Buy a brick for our extended walkway!

Our memorial brick walkway is now extended all the way along the side of the shelter!  
Grass has been planted, there are two new outdoor play yards for the cats, and landscaping is finished.  Come and visit the shelter and read the many new bricks.  If you'd like one for someone special in your life, simply download a form by clicking on the picture, and mail it to the shelter along with your $100 donation. 


  

FOSTER HOMES NEEDED
We are presently looking for foster homes & people willing to take in nursing mothers (feline/canine), puppies/kittens without mom, and/or felines/canines that may need foster homes for various reasons (i.e. injured, stress ?).

Please consider if you could open your home for a dog or cat or possibly a litter of kittens that needs extra love.  


Call  Bev. Andrade, Foster Home Coordinator, at 508-678-0804, to find out more. 


HELP DRIVE DOWN PET OVERPOPULATION!

Everyone in Massachusetts who loves animals can now help end overpopulation with one of these new plates!  The animal friendly plates, which feature a silhouette of a dog and cat and the phrase “I’m animal friendly,” are available from Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles.

The cost for the plate is $40, $28 of which will benefit local spay and neuter programs. The remaining $12 is a one-time only fee to cover the cost of manufacturing.  Upon renewal, the entire $40 will benefit spay and neuter programs.

To order an animal friendly plate, visit your local full service branch of the Registry of Motor Vehicles or order online at www.mass.gov/rmv.  For more information, please visit MAC’s website at www.massanimalcoalition.org.


We receive no state or federal funding and rely on your generosity to save these homeless animals. The thousands of animals we have saved from certain death thank you !

If you or a friend are looking for a family pet, someone who's love and commitment is an assured constant, please come by.

Help us improve the sad statistic that only 18% of animals in homes today come from shelters !
