German Shepherd Found Thanks to Yesterday's Blog Post!

Great news! We received a call from the German Shepherd's owner and he just came and claimed her, thanks to yesterday's blog post. The owner had posted flyers all over Natick and someone who saw the flyers and her photo on our blog made the connection.

Stray German Shepherd

The beautiful German Shepherd was picked up by Medfield Animal Control on Phillips St. on Thursday night, July 16th. If she is yours or you know who she belongs to, call Animal Control at (508) 359-1128 or the Medfield Animal Shelter at (508) 359-8989 to claim her.

A Very Generous Seven Year Old

When Laura turned 7 years old, she asked friends and family members NOT to buy a gift for her but instead to make a donation to the homeless animals of the Medfield Shelter. What a truly kind and thoughtful deed especially for such a young child. There is hope for a better tomorrow for companion animals and that hope is evidenced in powerful gestures like this one. Laura is shown here with her younger brother and Penny, one shelter resident who will benefit from Laura's kindness. An act like this goes a very long way to making the Medfield Animal Shelter a love-filled temporary home for our companion animals. We are so very thankful to Laura (and her family and friends) for her kindness and generosity.

$2,500 grant to spay/neuter feral cats received!

Last week we found out we are the recipient of a $2,500 grant from the Massachusetts Animal Coalition, to be put towards our spay/neuter program for feral cats! The grant money is available thanks to the Animal Friendly license plate program. We are thrilled to have been selected for a grant as many organizations applied this year and will use the money to increase the number of feral cats we spay and neuter over the next year. Thanks Massachusetts Animal Coalition!

Casey the Basset Hound Adopted!

Looks as though RJ was as happy to adopt Casey as Casey was to be adopted by him.

Anyone missing a ferret?

We received a call letting us know that a very friendly ferret has appeared at a home in Westwood. If your ferret is missing, please let us know and we will put you in touch with the nice family that rescued the ferret.

Chance in his new home!

After having some vet care and tests this week, Chance went home with his new family today. They gave him an adorable summer haircut to help him handle the warmer weather better and he couldn't look any cuter! He's still a bit unsure of his new brother the Mastiff, also a rescue pup, but is fine with his family's 3 rescue kitties.
