Smithfield Animal Control
Shelter News
We are at our highest count for animals in the last 2 years or so... We have 5-6 dogs for adoption and our trade mark 8-10 cats...
As for the shelter needs, we are looking for a painter to volunteer his or her services to get the exterior or the shelter painted before the cold weather.. All of the supplies will be donated from a local sorce, so we just need the experience of a painter... The ACO's can do it, but it will cut into time needed for calls and adoptions....

Our pet of the month introduces himself...
Who We Are
The Municipal Animal Shelter and Animal Control Division of the Town of Smithfield Police Department. The shelter is staffed by 2 ACO's, 4-5 volunteers and 1 vet tech. The shelter is also serviced by 3 Rhode Island Veterinarian's; North Paws Veterinary Center, Greenville Animal Hospital, and Warren Animal Hospital.
Adopting a friend
All the animals that are in need of good homes can be seen and adopted at the shelter 7 days a week; Mon, Wed, Sat, and Sun, from the hours of 9am-3pm and extended hours on Tues, Thurs and Fri from 9am-6pm . The majority of the cats at the shelter have been vet checked and are spayed/nuetered, up to date on all shots and AIDS/Leuk tested. The majority of our dogs are turn-ins. The ACO's attempt to get as much information and records as they can regarding these tail wagging friends. Adoptions for intact animals require a $30.00 deposit (that is returned once the animal is altered), and the filling out of the adoption paperwork. Animals that have come to us altered already are free to thier new life long homes (donations are ALWAYS welcome). Animals that are altered through the shelter require an adoption fee. The fees are as follows;
Male and female cats require an $85.00 adoption fee
Male and female dogs require a $100.00 adoption fee
These fees cover the out of pocket cost for the altering (spay/neuter) , vaccinations (RV, DLHP) and required testing (Heartworm, FIV, F Leuk) for the animals. Already altered animals would require a lesser fee depending on any out of pocket cost through the shelter.
Please call first to make sure someone will be there to show you the animals. The ACO's are often out on calls for extended periods of time.
Thank you.
