SUPPORT THE SHELTER'S RELOCATION

Please donate to "The 3A Farm Fund"

Though the new facility will open soon, the Scituate Animal Shelter urgently needs your financial support to help underwrite the relocation of the Shelter to the four-acre site on the corner of Route 3A and Mann Lot Road in Scituate, known as "The 3A Farm." The new 3500 square-foot facility has been built to accommodate the growing regional need to help stray, homeless, injured, and surrendered companion animals.

No taxpayer dollars are involved in the $1.15-million cost for the land, building, and related expenses. The relocation is being paid for with proceeds from the sale of the old shelter site on the Driftway in Scituate, funds from the Eleanor R. Haughey Trust, and funds raised through our capital campaign, known as "The 3A Farm Fund."

With backing from the Scituate Selectmen, the Friends of the Scituate Shelter Board of Directors initiated a capital campaign to raise the funds needed to purchase the land, equipment, and furnishings. To date, $920,000 has been raised. The remaining $280,000 still needs to be raised to pay off the mortgage. Tax deductible donations are gratefully accepted and can be sent to the "Shelter 3A Farm Fund" 780 Chief Justice Cushing Hwy,, Scituate, MA 02066. The Shelter accepts cash, checks, VISA, and Mastercard.

For more information, please call the Shelter at 781-544-4533 or visit www.scituateanimalshelter.org. Thank you for helping the homeless animals at the Scituate Animal Shelter.
