SCOUT
SCOUT is a two year old Pointer mix who was found as a stray. As we have been unable to find his owner, he is looking for a new home. We've mulled over Scout's breed mix and he seems to have a hodgepodge of several breed traits. We definitely see Pointer in him, whether it be English or German Shorthair. He could also have some Weimeraner and also some Coonhound and Lab. At any rate, Scout has stunning looks and a personality to match. He is lively and exuberant and likes anyone that will give him a cookie. Scout is in need of some obedience training, but he will make a great student as he is very highly food motivated. Scout can be noisy in his kennel, but is quiet in the yard and when being walked. He would probably do well with a female dog (as long as she has a sense of humor and doesn't mind being trompled on). Scout loves to chase balls and would also love to chase cats, so no kitties in his new home please. As we do not know his history and because Scout has lots of energy and not all his manners, we would like any children in his new home to be at least age 13. Although Scout has a relentless desire for cookies and kibble, he showed no problems with food aggression tests. He loves attention and to be petted and scratched. This is a gorgeous dog that will make a great pet. He will need plenty of exercise and some training to reach his potential. He appears to be housebroken. Scout was a good patient at the vet and has received his vaccinations and tested negative for Heartworm/Lyme. He will need to be neutered within 30 days of adoption. Come meet Scout. He will keep you amused and in shape! Log #2009-057.. .

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.
