This young lady was picked up in Shelburne Falls this after noon. She was originally running in the area of route 2 near Catamount Trading Post. With the assistance of some very nice citizens she was able to be secured and transported to the shelter.
She was not microchipped nor did she have a collar or tags.
If you have any information as to who her owners are please contact the Shelter directly at 413-676-9182.
We are not looking for Fosters or Adopters at this time.
Proof of ownership, town licensing, and rabies vaccination must be in hand when picking her up at the shelter.

Meet Peeps!
He is a young, playful and very active mixed breed dog. We think he is part Maltese and Poodle.
Peeps came to us as a stray so we do not know much about his history. He gets along with other dogs and loves to play! We are not sure how he is with cats. He is very sweet and loves people!
He is currently working on his house training.

If Peeps sounds like the dog for you, please give the shelter a call to set up a meet and greet!

We love our Animal Control Officers!
We are fundraising for an Ammonia Gas Analyzer for them. These Analyzers will be beneficial for cases where there are multiple pets in the homes and living conditions are poor. Knowing the level of toxic fumes will keep them safe and assist them in Law Enforcement cases. If enough funds are received we will purchase a few of the Analyzers for them.
If anyone would like to donate towards this fundraiser please include a note with your donation designating the funds towards the Analyzers.
Thank you for all your support!!

Meet Kendrick! He is a friendly 4 year old neutered male mixed breed dog. He came to us very shy but has warmed up! He may still be a little shy when meeting new people. Kendrick loves to play and go for walks.
He can be selective around dogs and seems to prefer female dogs. We are not sure how he is around cats.

Please call the shelter to set up a meet and greet and if you have any other questions.
