Who We Are

The PAWTUCKET ANIMAL SHELTER is a municipal shelter that accepts stray/abandoned animals from the City of Pawtucket. Our dedicated staff consists of one animal control supervisor, two animal control officers, a veterinary technican/ officer manager, a pound keeper and volunteers.

Adopting a friend

Anyone interested in adopting either a dog or a cat is encouraged to come and visit the shelter. We are there to help you choose the animal that suits your needs and lifestyle.

The adoption process includes a brief application and review of adoption obligations. There is a $15.00 adoption fee and a $20.00 spay/neuter deposit which is refunded to you (by mail) when the animal is spayed / neutered within the required 30 day period. It is the law in Rhode Island as well as Massachusetts that any animal adopted from a shelter must be spayed/neutered.

Donations

Donations are always welcome. All donations go into our vet care fund which provides vet care for the animals in the shelter.

Please mail your tax deductible donation to:

Pawtucket Police Dept. 121 Roosevelt Avenue Pawtucket, RI 02860 Attn: Animal Control
