Goodbye Summer...

Don't let the tough guy exterior fool you, this 5-year-old Husky mix with the steel blue eyes is a marshmallow at heart!

Rescued from the streets of Puerto Rico, Maximo knows lots of commands and is eager to learn and please. At about 50 lbs, this easy-to-handle, mid-sized dog is active and fun but he also knows how to relax.

Maximo is great with other dogs and would likely blend into most homes. We are unsure about cats but given his Husky mix, we would prefer a home without small animals to engage in a game of chase.

We aren't quite sure how this Husky fella survived the warm climate of Puerto Rico, but we think he will love New England winters! Or we're wrong and he will be shocked to find out what snow is. You let us know!

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.    

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.
