News, Pet Care Tips, Events and Adoption Success Stories...

At Northeast Animal Shelter we believe that people who love animals want to stay informed as well as be connected with other people who share their passion. That's why we have created What's the Scoop -- here you will find pet care tips, animal shelter events, and read pet adoption stories.

Also in this section is Animal Tales -- an informative newsletter brought to you by the Shelter -- packed with heartwarming stories, free pet advice, mail from adoptive families, and news about our vital life-saving programs.

See the latest issue of Animal Tales online or you can join our email list to have upcoming issues emailed to you for FREE.

Donate Your American Airline Miles

The rescuers from Puerto Rico make arrangements for our Satos to fly on American Airlines and they must be accompanied by a passenger. When we do not have a volunteer passenger flying from Puerto Rico to Boston, we cannot save these beautiful dogs. By donating your AA miles to Northeast Animal Shelter's AA account you will be providing us the opportunity to have one of our Shelter staff fly to Puerto Rico to accompany up to 18 Satos back to Boston to find their forever homes. It takes 35,000 miles for one round trip coach ticket to Puerto Rico. The more miles we get donated the more trips we can make to save more dogs.
