If you make a donation to the Pawtucket Animal Shelter they will guarantee that your stray momma cat and her kittens will get adopted out and not get put down.

We got our dog Percival at Pawtucket Animal Shelter, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Sara, a trainer at the shelter, sat with us for two hours as we tried to get Percy to not be completely frightened of us. Her patience along with ours to get the little pup comfortable led us taking him home. We appreciate all the care they took of our little dude for the two months he was there before he became a part of our family.

The staff is incredibly friendly and care so much for all their animals. They took the time to email me back and forth to find the right match for our home and continue to be involved to ensure our pup's success. Plus the park is the perfect place to go on a walk and meet the pups!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Pawtucket Pit Crew | Aug 31, 2019

Hi Eileen! We don’t offer any animals for free, as we incur costs for vetting and care that must be paid to the vet. However, the RISPCA does waive adoption fees for older pets up for adoption!

When the police has an animal of a person arrested they take it

The typical process is that you fill out an application for the dog you're interested in, and if your application is approved, you can do a "meet and greet" to see of your dog and the other one hit it off. Good luck!!

Grace Tarpoweh | Aug 31, 2018
Lucaus Beland | Aug 31, 2018

There are a lot of puppies to choose from that need a good home! 😊 The prices they charge are relatively low. This is because they're trying to find these dogs homes along with getting them the proper vaccinations they need in order to go home with you.
