Welcome
SAS: The Scituate Animal Shelter
Helping Massachusetts pets & the people who love them since 1992.
Pet of the Week!
Lou is a handsome Lab-mix looking for a family of his own.
This muscle man is a strong 80 pounds and about 5-years-old. With the use of an easy-walk harness, Lou is manageable and loves to be outside. While he is still a bit unsure in new situations, Lou loves to run and play.
Lou was not exposed to much in his early years and has some fear of unfamiliar pets. Lou is looking for a home as the only pet while he is exposed to more. He can walk by unfamiliar dogs but would not be a candidate for dog parks or breweries.
Lou knows a lot of commands, including speak! He's a super smart guy. Lou is good in the house, doesn't have accidents and doesn't have annoying puppy problems like chewing when he shouldn't.
This lovable dog needs a bit of work but overall is a very good boy.
Our Shelter
Each year, our shelter finds homes for an average of 500+ animals and reunites dozens of lost pets with their grateful owners. Our pets come from every corner of the state and stay with us as long as they need. We do not-- and have never -- euthanized for length of stay or shelter space.
Our Community Programs
Helping animals means helping the people who love them, too. Each year we donate over 50,000 lbs of free pet food to our community. We're proud to have regularly offered low cost vaccination clinics to our community, as well as spay/neuter clinics or veterinary care help for pet owners facing financial need.

Feral Cats
Feral cats are among the most vulnerable animals of our region. We assist community feral cat volunteers & have a long history of trapping, neutering, & releasing (TNR) feral adults to allow them to live out their lives more healthfully, without producing litters of homeless kittens. Any kittens are adopted, generally in pairs.
