There was a Bobcat sighting at Juniper Pond yesterday. Usually these cats are not aggressive and like our local coyotes, they are skittish towards people and larger animals, but we want people to be aware that they are around and to keep an eye on smaller pets.

We would like to remind everyone that dogs are not allowed at Riverpoint Park and other town properties. We understand people are trying to play/exercise their dog, but unfortunately there are too many people that let their dog(s) off leash and defecate all over the fields. There are dog parks and even places where you can rent a fenced in area for you to safely play with your dog. Check out the links below for more information.

Sec. 4-28. - Restraint of dogs required at all times.
The owner shall keep his dog under restraint at all times.

Sec. 4-29. - Animals prohibited on school and town property.
No animals are allowed in school yards or on school property or on any town-owned recreational facility property or other town property, except so-called service animals as hereinabove defined.

Sec. 4-49. - Domestic animal waste; removal.
(a)Duties to dispose. It shall be the duty of each person who owns, possesses or controls a domestic animal to remove and dispose of any f***s left by his domestic animal on any sidewalk, street, park or other public area, or any other property owned by the town and property owned privately by any person other than property of the owner of the domestic animal.

We would like to give a huge SNOUT OUT to the Grandchamp & Gonzalez family for their very generous donation in loving memory of Patches. We know Patches was so loved and could not have asked for a better family to be a part of. Thank you from the bottom of our heart and food bowls. ❤🐾

Hoss is estimated to be around 2-years-old and is available for adoption!

Hoss was found as a stray with no one coming forward to claim him. 😢 Hoss is a sweet but nervous boy who loves playing in the yard with his toys. He is looking for a forever family who is not going to abandon him again. Hoss will need a home with older or no children and to be an only pet.

Call 401-615-3388 to schedule an appointment to come meet the handsome Hoss. Please share Hoss to help him find his forever family. We know they are out there.

Go meet Zippy at the Cranston Animal Shelter, RI! Please contact them with any questions.

Zippy is the perfect name for our boy that's always on the move. He was very grateful for his treat filled tunnel with a churu at the end! He loved it so much we told him it would be his once his forever home is found. Help us find this cutie a place to call his own. As Zippy is feline leukemia positive, he must be placed in a home to himself or with kitties like him. Come meet Zippy during our open hours, Tuesday-Friday 12-4 or Saturday 11-3!!

Please reach out to the RI SPCA with any questions.

Please reach out to the RI SPCA with any questions.

Our “Working Cats” are not typically suited for indoor homes. Whether they weren’t socialized or they’re just downright mean, they much rather spend their time killing stuff and protecting your property instead of receiving human affection. We have several working cats right now, and being stuck in a cage is incredibly stressful for them!

All of our working cats have been examined by one of our veterinarians, are spayed/neutered, have core vaccines, been tested (and are negative) for both FIV and FeLV, microchipped and have been treated for fleas, ticks, and intestinal parasites. The fee for a working cat is $50 for a single and $75 for a pair.

Please reach out to Olivia at [email protected] with any questions!

🐾🐕If you have a dog, it is extremely important to socialize and train them. It is best to start as a puppy BEFORE we develop behavioral issues but if we have already developed some, no worries, there is still help. You can work with a professional behaviorist/trainer to help learn your dog's triggers and how to undo or redirect them. You want that perfectly well-behaved dog, you have to work on it and continue working on it. We work with Dynamic Dog Training & Paws From The Heart Certified Therapy program here at the shelter and both Sue and Harry are wonderful. Contact them to set up a session 401-429-8017.
