Welcome
SAS: The Scituate Animal Shelter
Helping Massachusetts pets & the people who love them since 1992.
Pet of the Week!
Duke is a wonderful companion who prefers an active lifestyle. If Duke were a human he would for sure be a D1 athlete, first round draft pick, MVP of every game. He is built for speed and agility; he is a dog looking for something to do. At just a year old, Duke needs someone active and outdoorsy.
Duke wasn't exposed to much and needs more socializing, but he is a friendly guy. Like many dogs without training in their younger months, Duke can get a little jumpy and sometimes mouthy, but he just needs an outlet for his energy.
Duke has shown to be selective with other dogs, preferring female dogs. He walks well on leash and loves his outdoor time. Duke keeps a clean kennel here, indicating he is housebroken. Given his strong prey drive, no cats please.
This fun-loving dog will thrive in the right home. We would love someone with Aussie experience, or someone who is familiar with the needs of high energy dogs. Note: Duke’s photo on the left was taken while on a hiking adventure with one of our volunteers in the White Mountains, he would make a great hiking companion!
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.
