Fireworks are night and I would much rather not have to call Missing Dogs Massachusetts tomorrow because you didn’t secure your dogs during the fireworks.
PLEASE check your doors, your windows, and make sure they are secured and shut.
PLEASE do not leave your dogs in the yard on runs, or in fenced in yards, you would be surprised the things they can get out of when in fear.
Please keep your pets inside your home where they are safe.

7/3/25 Fireworks and Thunder season is here! What are you doing to ensure your dog is safe when those fireworks start going off? We have seen many dogs become so frightened that they jump through glass windows or doors and become injured. Think about a safe place for your dog before the fireworks and weather are upon us!

** Chihs leave monday. Smokey and Pit have approved apps. Marleigh has people interested. Lets get rex and nya out as welll!**

The shelter is FULL! And until I am able to get some animals out, I cannot take any more in. Which means animals in need will have to wait.

I have two chihuahuas looking for a foster (preferably foster to adopt) home pending their dentals and vaccinations. Both very sweet and snuggly.

Marleigh is a white mixed breed 8 months old looking for her forever home. She is spayed and ready to go. Very sweet girl and good with other dogs. Unsure about cats.

Rex is a two year old neutered male. He is the most loyal dog and would love a family to protect! He does need a house with a yard, and no younger kids as he prefers not to have people right up in his face.

Nya is a 3 year old spayed female. She is such a love bug! She has lived with and has done well with kids. Nya prefers to be the only pet in the home! She has been working on going on leashes walks and ignoring all other dogs around her. She is very treat motivated which makes training easy!

Pit is a 8 month old (soon to be spayed) female. She goes in this week to be spayed and vaccinated. She is theeeeee sweetest cat I’ve had in here. She wants to be held and snuggle.

Smokey was found as a stray so her age is unknown but on the younger side. I would say 3-5 years old. She is a vocal lady and loves to tell you when she’s hungry or wants your attention. She would love a home with someone who will snuggle up with her on the couch.

If you’re interested in any of these babies, please email me [email protected] for an application. Once application is approved, we will set up meet and greets.

Meet Marleigh!
She is a 8 month old spayed female and a ball of joy. Just look at those eyes 🥰 She needs some basic training.. leash walking, not jumping, etc but over all a great puppy! Food is her favorite thing ever which will make training easy.
She does good with other small dogs, and I would assume would be fine with bigger dogs as well. I am unsure how she is with cats.
Marleigh is looking for a family who wants to spend some time training her, and possibly taking her on some summer outings to explore the world. If you are interested in adopting Marleigh, please email me at [email protected] for an adoption application.

Missing cat in Dudley
Keep an eye out if you’re on the Dudley side of town

Luna (8y spayed) and Beba (6y not spayed) are looking for a small dog FOSTER home.
They both have severe dental disease and will need medical treatment in the future (I’m working on it) which is why it is foster home, not adoption.
They are nervous with new people at first, but over all very sweet! They have lived with other small dogs before.
Please EMAIL me for an application. I will not be replying to comments or messages on them.

Their story:
They were dropped off in a box that said free at the Police Station. It was explained that they were found abandoned behind a church in the grass. The photos provided did not have the box and the dogs were named upon arrival which raised suspicion that they were not really abandoned. Long story short.. original owners stated they had to rehome the dogs due to the landlord stating they cannot have the dogs. They gave it away to a girl who lives in Webster. That girl picked up the dogs for her niece without asking her nieces mother if it was okay. Together the girl and her niece staged an abandonment situation for the dogs in hope the mother would feel bad and let her keep the dogs. The mother did not allow the dogs to stay and the dogs were brought to the Police Station and reported as abandoned.

Lesson:
Do not give you animals away to just anyone. Not everyone has good intention. These dogs have been bounced around, confused, and scared for no reason. Went from the home they’ve been in their whole life, to another home, placed outside in a field for photos, brought to a police station, put in a cage, put in a truck, and then in shelter. All because the original owner didn’t properly rehome the dogs and the person who took them did not have good intentions. The dogs suffer because of it.
If you do not know what to do, reach out to your local ACO for resources. Please

Last night someone found three kittens about 6-8 weeks of age in a box in the tree lines behind a home on Nelson Street. If you know of anyone who was looking to get rid of kittens, or know who could have done this, please reach out.
****please note.. they are not available for adoption at this time*****

I am all set .. you guys are amazing, thank you!!

In need of small window a/c or stand up/window fans to help cool the shelter off more
(There are already two a/c units going but with the dogs having access to outdoor kennel, it brings in some extra un wanted heat)
Please message me if you have anything you’d like to donate

The next few days will be extremely hot, giving your pets more of a chance for heat stroke.

PLEASE keep your pets home in air conditioned rooms giving them constant access to fresh cold water.
Limit exercise to early mornings, or later in the evening. Avoid long walks. Avoid dog parks. Leash walking outside to go to the bathroom is enough during this heat.
If the ground is too hot for your bare feet, it is too hot for your dogs paws.
Your dogs do not need to run errands with you. Leaving them in the car for two minutes IS too long.

If you see dogs tied outside in this heat, please report it.
If you see dogs left in cars, please report it.

Keep your dogs safe 🐶

As we continue to get more and more animals in, we are getting low on food.
I have attached our Amazon wishlist if anyone is interested in helping

If anyone has seen these two older chihuahuas or know anything about them, please email me at [email protected]
They were found abandoned at the church on Maynard Street in a box that says “free” with a bed, and a bad of dry kibble.
Any information about these two will be helpful
