Welcome
SAS: The Scituate Animal Shelter
Helping Massachusetts pets & the people who love them since 1992.
Pet of the Week!
Saoirse was found wondering in a Walmart parking lot and no one came forward to claim her. Saoirse is the full Bulldog package! She likely had babies in the past, she has some skin issues and goopy eyes.
When Saoirse came in, she barely moved, didn't interact and didn't want to walk. With the help of modern medicine, her eyes look clearer, her joints feel better, and her anxiety has decreased. Her eye medication will be ongoing, and Saoirse's new home needs to have a good relationship with their vet.
Since we don't know anything about her past, we are looking for a home with teens and adults. This super cute bully has shown some issues with handling but has improved during her stay with us. Saoirse charges other dogs but backs off. She may be able to live with a calm dog but likely better as an only pet. If you don't like long walks and prefer laying on the couch, this lady is for you! We guess this beautiful gal is about 5 years old and is a beefy and 43 lbs. Saoirse has come a long way and is looking for a warm and loving home.
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.
