About the Shelter
In-Kind Gifts

Running an animal shelter is an expensive endeavor. While animals are in our care they receive the best medical care, sound nutrition and a clean safe environment...all of which require supplies. Supplies you may be able to provide us.

Below is a list of the things we can use. Please feel free to drop off your donated supplies if you live in the area, click here for directions, or send gifts to the following address:

Northeast Animal Shelter
204 Highland Avenue
Salem, MA 01970

Anything you can do to help us help the animals is always greatly appreciated! Gift certificates to local pet supply stores or supermarkets are always welcome.
