Are you supporting puppy mills?
Before you purchase a pet from a "breeder" or a pet store, please make sure you are aware of the puppy mill industry. Many people purchase dogs and puppies without looking into the dogs' backgrounds first, which commonly results in serious consequences for both the dogs and their owners. So what are the differences between a puppy miller and a responsible breeder? How do you identify a puppy miller or a puppy mill puppy? How can you avoid sustaining this horrible cycle? Go to The Best Friends Animal Society's web page for more information.
The VSA Warwick Chapter is dedicated to performing outreach for the Warwick Animal Shelter. To further our mission, the VSA Warwick Chapter is actively involved in teaching responsible companion animal care to area schoolchildren and extracurricular groups. Another essential aspect of our work is to advocate spaying and neutering of all pets.
The mission of the VSA Warwick Chapter is to foster a public attitude of humane care and gentleness toward all animals (whether they are domestic, exotic, wild or livestock) and to promote an awareness of the importance animals have in our environment and daily lives.
Not only is it good for your companion animal, it's now the law! The State of Rhode Island has a new law requiring that all cats living in Rhode Island be spayed or neutered. Volunteer Services for Animals is ready to help! VSA can help you find low cost surgery and assistance. By spaying or neutering your cat, you not only give her or him a healthier, happier life, but you also prevent generations of unwanted kittens.
For information and assistance, please call the Warwick Chapter of VSA at (401) 738-2098. Your cat will love you for it!
There are no events scheduled at this time.
If you have lost a pet in the Warwick area, please email information to Lesley Doonan, the Chapter Coordinator, and we will post the information for you in this section.
This section is designed to feature pets who need placement in loving homes ASAP. If you know of any feral/abandoned pets who have potential to be family pets, and would like to give them a chance at a new life, please send pictures and descriptions to Lesley Doonan, the Chapter Coordinator, and we will display them here.
Henry
Hi All, my name is Henry and I am about 3 years old. I am very healthy, friendly and affectionate, and I love to be petted (as you can see from my third picture). I am even friendly with the other cats who live outside, like I do, so if you have other cats in your family, I will get along just fine with them! With a little patience and understanding, I will make a great lap cat. I am already neutered, and my shots will be updated before I am adopted. For more info or to adopt me, please call the Warwick Chapter of VSA at (401) 738-2098, or email vsawarwick@verizon.net.
Have you adopted a pet through the VSA Warwick Chapter? We would love to hear what he or she is up to now! Please feel free to send us an email (preferably with a picture attached), and describe what a difference your new pet has made in your life.
VSA Warwick Chapter Happy Tails!

There is nothing more gratifying than helping to save a dog or cat! If you are unable to adopt a pet, but would like to help out, consider becoming a volunteer. There are plenty of different things to do, and training is provided.
We are looking for volunteers interested in promoting humane education in area schools. (Boy and Girl Scout troops take note: you can earn badges for volunteering!) We will provide training and materials. The VSA Warwick Chapter requires all volunteers sign a liabilty waiver prior to the start of volunteering. To obtain this form, and for more information, please email Lesley Doonan, The Chapter Coordinator or call (401) 738-2098.
