Thank you Southbridge PD for the wonderful appreciation gift. Serving the Town and community has been a great experience.

This week is Animal Control Officer Week! We just wanted to THANK our Animal Control Officer Katelyn Jewell for her dedication to our department and the work she does in our community looking after stray, homeless, lost or found pets and helping owners provide the proper care for their animals.

If you see ACO Jewell, remember to thank her for all the GREAT work she does and for keeping our community’s pets safe!

Thank you MSPCA-Angell for taking on this little girl. She was in our care for 55 days before there was an opening at a rescue/shelter. This was a quick in and out for Animal Control especially when the majority of medium to large breed dogs stay for an average of 3-6 months waiting for an opening. Animal Control is only able to transfer adoptable pets due to our by-law. If you have to find placement for your pet, there are resources available on mass.gov under animal shelters. As a reminder, willfully abandoning an animal is a felony in Massachusetts.

Cross post… does this dog look familiar? Any information about this dog in urgent medical care can be called into 508.764.5420, option 2. The second option for reporting can be made on the 411app if you choose to stay anonymous.

*UPDATE*
Dante was vetted, adopted, and is thriving in his new home. Thank you everyone!!!

PLEASE READ!!! PLEASE SHARE!!!

We NEED public assistance.

This male wooly husky was turned in as a found stray. The finding party reported to be departing the Warwick St. area of Woonsocket on the North Smithfield Line, driving towards Southbridge, and found the dog 10 minutes into the trip home. They could not give us a location.

There are clearly multiple ways from Woonsocket to Southbridge.

The pup needed to be transported to Tufts for injuries.

He is estimated to be 9 to 12 months of age, very friendly, and has some large lacerations and a poor body scale.

Any information about this pup would be greatly appreciated. The wooly huskies are distinctive looking and often noticeable.

If you have any information or suspected leads, please reach out, as we would like to chase every lead down.

Thank you everyone!!!

Over the past six months, there has been an increase in dogs being abandoned in Town. Willfully abandoning an animal falls under the State’s animal cruelty law which is a felony. Please do your due diligence and surrender your pet to a rescue/shelter or veterinary office if it has behavior issues. Animal Control is not a rescue and does not adopt out pets, it’s considered a holding facility. Owners who are found “dumping” pets will be charged and have been. A list of Massachusetts approved rescue/shelter can be found on Mass.gov.
