What's new at SAS

Put a smile on your face every day of 2024!  

Our beautiful day-by-day, tear off, desktop calendars are now available to pre-order. They will be printed by early December, just in time for holiday gift giving!  A great and meaningful gift for the animal lovers in your life---or yourself. 

The calendar will feature a special pet on each page, and will be full of familiar faces!   The best part:   $49 price tag will help more pets find new families.   Supplies are limited so please act now. 

All during the month of November.

Shopping at Shaws?  When you buy a $3 reusable bag at local Shaws stores, a portion of the proceeds will go to our pets! 

We know you are doing lots of shopping for the holidays.  This a great way to help the environment by using a reusable bag, and to help our shelter residents and all the other animals whose lives we will touch this year! 

There are Shaws stores in Cohasset, Hanover, Hanson, Carver, East Weymouth, Brockton and Braintree!

December 2nd 8 - 3

Dump begging is back!  

We will be trying to raise funds for our pets at the Scituate town dump all day on December 2nd and we hope you’ll say hi (and remember to bring along your spare change or a dollar or two together with your trash and recyclables). 

The Scituate Transfer Station is open to Scituate residents with a sticker only and located at 280 Driftway in Scituate, near the Greenbush Commuter Rail  Station.     

 We're building a surgical suite!  This facility will enable in-house spay/neuter & minor surgeries, dental cleanings & extractions, ultrasounds, biopsies and mass removals. It will make our pets more comfortable, more quickly &  enable us to help a greater number by speeding up the time between when they arrive and when they're ready for homes. It will save funds currently spent at other facilities and preserve long hours spent ferrying pets to  care facilities. We’ve raised 90% of the funds needed for this long-desired project. To contribute, please click & put  ’surgical suite’ in the comments. 

Open when we are!

We are pleased to introduce the Community Cupboard at SAS, a resource for pet owners facing financial need or hardship.   

At the Cupboard, you will find pet food and supplies free of charge, no questions asked.  We operate on an honor system, asking customers to only take what they need.  You may also purchase grocery cards to help our pets!

The Community Cupboard is open during our open hours, Wednesdays 1:30 - 6  Weekeneds 10 - 2 

A thoughtful gesture

If you recently lost a pet or want to honor a friend or family member's beloved animal, we have two meaningful options.    

Bricks engraved with the pet's name & a short message can be installed in our shelter walkway (click button below) 

Alternatively, you can purchase a memorial stone for $36 with the pet's name engraved to be placed in SAS's memorial garden:  a special spot on our grounds.
