And last: How did you hear about us?

Please note: We ask all adopters to show a current driver’s license for identification purposes. If you own a home, we ask to see a copy of a tax bill confirming ownership. If you rent, we must have written permission from your landlord that animals are allowed on the premises. We are exercising due diligence for the welfare of our animals and hope this won’t make the adoption process too onerous.

Also: If you are going to adopt from us and you have a dog, you have to bring in the dog license to show us.

If you do not get a response within 48 hours, you should call the shelter (781 631-8664) or write again to make sure that your application was received.

We’ll be in touch. Thanks!
