We accept surrendered animals according to the process listed below.
FEES (subject to change based on anticipated veterinary costs per animal)
$50 fee for incoming DOGS and CATS
$20 fee for incoming SMALL ANIMALS (such as guinea pigs and rabbits)
All incoming animals must be current with their rabies vaccination.
Making an Appointment
An appointment is required to surrender any pet, with “drop-off” appointments made primarily between the hours of 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM, although other accommodations may be made if agreed upon with our Shelter Manager.
Please call the shelter at 401-783-7606 ext 104, to inquire about available appointments and to be sure we have space available for your pet.
Limited Admission
We are a shelter that can best be termed a “limited admission” shelter. We accept adoptable animals and never euthanize animals in our care simply to make room for incoming animals. Therefore, there may be a waiting list at our shelter to take an owned pet.
We do have a small number of foster homes that we can utilize. We will try to accommodate your needs as quickly as we can.
Small Animals
As space permits, we accept some small animals such as guinea pigs and rabbits.
