What's new at SAS

The month of April 

We're thrilled to announce that our friends at Aubuchon Hardware, Cohasset, will be helping our pets for the entire month of April!

Shoppers will be asked if they want to round up their purchases, with the change coming to SAS. Even better, Aubuchon will match donations up to $2500!  We are so grateful.   Please stop in at 828 Chief Justice Cushing Highway, Cohasset.     

We are so grateful for this support.  See you at Aubuchon!

Tickets on sale !

Our biggest fundraiser of the year will take place May 13, 2023 at the beautiful Indian Pond Country Club in Kingston.  Tickets are scheduled to go on sale soon  (past galas have sold out fairly quickly).

It will be a festive evening with music, cocktails (cash bar), passed hors d'oeuvres and food stations, live auction and silent auction, a photo booth, caricaturist...and everyone's favorite: a parade of happy, formerly homeless shelter dogs. 

We often need foster families to temporarily care for pets who  have medical conditions, who are recovering from surgery, or who are just too elderly or sensitive to handle life in a busy shelter.  

Fostering is a way to help animals at their time of greatest need without making a lifelong commitment or a big financial one (we pay for medical care, food and supplies). If you or your family is interested in fostering dogs or cats, we would love to talk to you!   Please click the link below and scroll to the bottom of the page!

Did you adopt from us?

If you adopted from us after 2011,  we may just have a wonderful keepsake for you.  

While they stay at SAS, most of our pets are photographed by talented photographers in an effort to help them find their new families.  For a donation of just $5, we sell printed photos of these shelter portraits (or digital copies). 

If you recently lost a pet or want to honor a 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) or you can purchase a memorial stone for $36 with the pet's name engraved to be placed in a sunny spot on our grounds.   

Did you know that many charities must spend a lot of money discarding donations of goods that well meaning friends have donated, but that they don't actually need?   

To make sure that every dime we raise can go to our pets, please click on the  button below to see guidelines for donations of goods.  You may leave donations in the box to the right of our front door 24/7.
