You may call our shelter for surrender fees and availability at 9, our shelter generally accepts surrendered animals Tuesday – Thursday from 11 a.m. Our shelter will not and can not take animals with such wounds. Sadly this is a STATE LAW and is due to concerns for rabies and a pet with a wound being exposed to a potentially rabid animal. Please NOTE: if you are contacting our shelter to take a stray (or even your own pet) and the animal has ANYwounds of unknown origin- including but not limited to bites, scratches, abscesses, scars – the MA Rabies laws state the animal must be quarantined for 6 MONTHS or euthanized. (we generally start answering the phones at 10 a.m.) IF we are FULL and unable to accept your pet on a specific day – we highly recommend calling early in the morning each day to see if we have space. Though we DO NOT have an age limit we DO NOT accept animals that are aggressive, have a bite history (provoked or not), have severe medical conditions or are on medication/s or special diets. This means that we have limited space / resources to accept pets. Be advised that we are a limited admission, no-kill shelter. The number of pets accepted for surrender is specifically determined by animals that are adopted, freeing up space for new arrivals. Our shelter does not place any time limits on a pets stay. Our shelter is a managed admission organization and we reserve the right to accept or refuse any pet presented for surrender. DUE TO SPACE LIMITATIONS WE DO NOT & CAN NOT ACCEPT DRIVE-IN DROP-OFF SURRENDERSĪll surrenders are done by appointment on a space-available basis (and our availability changes day-to-day). ![]()
