One of New England's Largest No-kill Animal Shelters

Since 1976 Northeast Animal Shelter has placed over 90,000 dogs and cats in loving homes...

For 33 years, we have worked tirelessly to unite thousands of rescued animals with the perfect adoptive families...and we will never destroy an animal entrusted to our care. Safe shelter, food, healthcare, low cost spay or neuter, and even toys...are all provided to our rescue animals through the generosity of people like you.
