adoption policy

Think before you adopt…Are you prepared for the responsibility of owning a pet?  It is a 24-hour, 365 days commitment, lasting for the animal’s lifetime.

Do not adopt an animal on impulse or emotion…This is a very serious and costly decision for you and the animal.  We at the shelter firmly believe that given the adequate attention, love, time and training, all animals can be a pleasure to own, and A RESPONSIBLE PET OWNER ACQUIRES A PET WITH THE INTENTION OF KEEPING IT AS PART OF THEIR FAMILY FOR ITS NATURAL LIFETIME.

• We try to place ONLY healthy and good disposition animals.
• We REQUIRE
• Spaying of all female pets and neutering of all males
• Strict adherence to all laws and ordinances
• All dogs be licensed in their Cities/Towns within 10 days
• That the animals be adopted by persons at least 18 years old
• Persons adopting must have proof of present address
• That persons adopting have the knowledge and consent of all adults living in your household
• That the person adopting be able and willing to spend the time and money necessary to provide the training, medical treatment and proper care for pet
• That persons have cash to pay fees of up to $40.00 for a pet.  If you plan to pay by check, we require that a valid Massachusetts Drivers License be used as proper identification
• That the persons adopting understand that not all animals are available for adoption, due to age, temperament, illness or other reasons
• That the persons adopting have the knowledge and consent of your landlord

 WE DO NOT RELEASE ANY ANIMALS FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ADOPTION OF ANIMALS TO ANYONE
