Northeast Animal Shelter is one of New England's largest non-profit, no-kill animal shelters. We have placed over 115,000 cats and dogs since we opened our doors in 1976, and we will never destroy an adoptable animal entrusted to our care.
Each year millions of cats and dogs are put to sleep in overcrowded shelters, just to make room for more homeless animals, but we believe every life is worth saving. We rescue hundreds of homeless cats and dogs each week, from all across America. Pets as far away as California arrive by air, while pets from the mid-west and southern states are transported to us in air-conditioned vans.
As soon as a dog or cat arrives at our facility, our staff begins searching for the perfect match — a family who is just right and will give the pet a wonderful home.
While waiting for a forever home, our dogs and cats receive the best of care. Since each animal's care is individualized, this may involve obedience training, a visit with the local groomer, a special blanket, or a diet with high-quality pet food. All of our pets are inoculated, dewormed, and given medical care if needed. Some pets may need spay or neuter surgery, or specialized surgery costing thousands of dollars to correct orthopedic problems or other issues.
We are located just a half hour north of Boston and easily accessible to all of New England. Being open 7 days a week makes the adoption of a pet convenient for the general public and enables us to place all our homeless dogs and cats.
Northeast Animal Shelter receives no local, state or federal funding and is entirely dependent on contributions from the public to cover its annual operating budget.
