Our Pet List

Our Featured Pet...

Merlin
Merlin is a two year old DSH Black cat who was found abandoned in a crate outside the Shelter on Halloween morning. We'll probably never know why Merlin became homeless, but we certainly don't think it could have had anything to do with his personality. Merlin is a big boy but very friendly. He seems to be quite a lazy man who enjoys just lounging around. He enjoys being petted and seeks attention. Merlin is litterbox trained, neutered, and up to date on vaccinations. What he needs now is a new home with people who will love him forever. LOG#2008-090. .

We are always happy to receive money donations that enable us to provide the medical care these animals need. All money donations are utilized soley for routine and emergency veterinary services for animals in our care. Other donated items we can use include: paper towels, kitty litter, dry and canned dog and cat food, bleach, Heartguard, Frontline, leashes, collars, large rubber toys, biscuits/treats, and towels.

We have chosen Kuranda dog beds for our boarding facilities because they are so good for our dogs. We still don't have enough for all of our kennels. If you would like to donate a bed so another dog can sleep in proper comfort, please click here.

Who We Are

Burrillville Animal Control is a municipal facility which operates to enforce animal control laws as well as house stray and homeless animals. Animal Control officers are available to assist the public and perform the following services: Return stray animals to their owners, place unclaimed animals for adoption, enforce local and state animal control ordinances, and educate and provide referrals for the public. The Shelter is staffed by Animal Control personnel and volunteers.

Adopting a friend

After meeting the pet you would like to adopt, the ACO or a volunteer will perform a brief screening. Depending on the status of the pet you are choosing (i.e. vaccinations, spay/neuter, etc.) the Shelter requires that you leave a deposit at the veterinarian of your choice for rabies vaccines and spay/neuter costs. Upon returning to the shelter with the pre-paid receipt, the chosen pet will be released in your custody after completing the adoption paperwork.
