MUFFIN
MUFFIN is a two year old DSH Gray Tiger and White female cat who was transferred here from the RISPCA because their shelter was full. Muffin ended up at the SPCA when her owner passed away. Although a family member tried to take her home, Muffin and the other cats in the home weren't getting along. The SPCA observed Muffin to be fine with other cats during interactions at their Shelter. This is an indoor only cat who is affectionate and laid back. She adjusted immediately here at the Shelter and is unfazed by her new surroundings. Muffin has not been exposed to dogs, but may adjust to living with another cat. She would be fine as an only cat as well. Muffin has not had much exposure to children, but her temperament leads us to believe she would be fine with kids. Muffin has suffered enough loss in her short life and needs to find a forever home where she will be loved and cared for. She is litterbox trained, spayed, and up to date on vaccinations. All she needs is you!! LOG#2009-071. .

It seems that our number of abandoned and very neglected animals in need of veterinary care is continuing to rise. We are always happy to receive money donations that enable us to provide the medical care these animals need. All money donations are utilized for routine and emergency veterinary services for animals in our care. Other donated items we can use include: paper towels, kitty litter, dry and canned dog and cat food, bleach, Heartguard, Frontline, leashes, collars, large rubber toys, biscuits/treats, and towels.

We have chosen Kuranda dog beds for our boarding facilities because they are so good for our dogs. We still don't have enough for all of our kennels. If you would like to donate a bed so another dog can sleep in proper comfort, please click here.

Who We Are
Burrillville Animal Control is a municipal facility which operates to enforce animal control laws as well as house stray and homeless animals. Animal Control officers are available to assist the public and perform the following services: Return stray animals to their owners, place unclaimed animals for adoption, enforce local and state animal control ordinances, and educate and provide referrals for the public.
Adopting a friend
After meeting the pet you would like to adopt, the ACO will perform a brief screening. Depending on the status of the pet you are choosing (i.e. vaccinations, spay/neuter, etc.) the Shelter requires that you leave a deposit at the veterinarian of your choice for rabies vaccines and spay/neuter costs. Upon returning to the shelter with the pre-paid receipt, the chosen pet will be released in your custody after completing the adoption paperwork.
