“[W]e really need adopters to come out and give any of the animals in our care — but especially dogs — a happy home to ensure that we’ll be able to say yes the next time that an animal needs help,” Schindler added.

All dogs, including puppies, will be available in our pay-what-you-can adoptathon tomorrow (11/21) and Saturday (11/22)! Stop by any of our shelters during open hours to give one of our dogs the happy home they deserve 🐶❤️
🐕🐈🐐🦃 MSPCA is holding an emergency adopt-a-thon with "pay what you can" fees to find homes for 100s of animals after multiple cruelty cases.

This is happening tomorrow (11/21) and Saturday (11/22) across all four of our shelters!

A string of recent law enforcement seizures has pushed our shelters past capacity! As a result, we will be doing pay-what-you-can adoptions Friday 11/21 and Saturday 11/22 for all dogs at all four MSPCA-Angell shelters! Hours vary by location. See what dogs are available at mspca.org/adoptadog 1/

NEW: We’re looking for the owner of this roughly 3-year-old miniature poodle-mix who we’re calling Fiyero. He was brought to us earlier this week extremely skinny and matted. After a couple days in Angell's emergency room, he’s now being treated in our Boston clinic but he’s got a long road ahead 1/

We're so glad that this little guy is safe! It's an important reminder that these animals are illegal to own in Mass. As with other wild animals, their physical and behavioral needs can't be met when kept as a pet, resulting in harm to the animal, and potential danger to people and other animals.

We're holding a pop-up pet food pantry today (Nov. 13) at Nevins Farm in Methuen (400 Broadway) from 11a-1p, as long as supplies last. If you or someone you know is struggling to feed pets amid these tough economic times, stop by 💙

Although it looks like SNAP benefits may be restored in Mass., there’s still immense need in the community, so we’re continuing our pop-up pantries (as long as supplies last):
