FEATURING GUEST PET: NOT AT SHELTER.

Meet Flynn, a 3 year old black lab/boxer mix. He's friendly, affectionate & smart. He is also housebroken and knows basic commands. Flynn would do best as the only dog in the home as he is very food driven and that could become an issue. A fenced in yard would be best for him and no small children because of his size and exuberance. Flynn is a handsome athletic boy who is eager to please. For more information or interested in Flynn, please contact Kim at 508-287-0227. Thank you!

ATTENTION: The shelter will be closed next week, Monday March 24th & Tuesday March 25th for ACO training. If you have an emergency, please contact the Kingston Police Department at 781-585-0523. We will return to regular business hours on Wednesday, March 26th. Thank you!

We want to extend a huge heartfelt thank you to Brendan Cronin and his crew at ForeverLawn Massachusetts for their stunning work here at the shelter. We've wanted this upgrade for so long and could not be happier with the results. The crew is extremely hardworking and fast! Porter gives his full approval also. Thank you so much!

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION:

Introducing the dynamic duo, Sheldon & Leroy! Leroy (grey spots) is a roughly 8 month old male. At first, Leroy was very shy and timid, but when Sheldon (orange) 7 year old male came in, they became steadfast friends! Sheldon's cool, calm, and collected personality began to rub off on Leroy and he began to blossom. Leroy watched volunteers give Sheldon love and treats and he thought, hey! that looks nice, I want some too! Although still a little unsure with loud noises and quick movements, Leroy is highly dependent on his older buddy, Sheldon, and they will need to go as a bonded pair. Sheldon is the big brother Leroy never had and wants to show him the world doesn't have to be a scary place. Sheldon is a total loaf and will solicit attention and happily accept it. Both boys are neutered and up to date with their vaccines. A reduced adoption fee will be discussed with serious adopters. If interested in these two buds, find them on Petfinder or fill out an application here: (videos in comments) Thanks!

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION:

Introducing Spencer! Spencer is about 2.5 years old and looking to be someone's cuddle buddy! He loves to play fetch and keep away, as well as play with squeaky toys and balls. Spencer loves going for car rides and walks (he is a puller but an EZ walk harness makes it possible!) Spencer DOES NOT LIKE OTHER DOGS and should be the only dog in the home. He would do best in a home with someone who is active with daily hikes/walks. Spencer needs to be taught boundaries with jumping so because of this, no small children. Spencer would make a great companion for someone with breed experience and time to train. Spencer is neutered and up to date on all his vaccines. To apply for Spencer, fill out an application here:

Or find him on Petfinder. Thank you! (videos in comments)
