Adopt a pet from the Marblehead Animal Shelter!

All our cats are tested for FeLV and FIV, given a rabies and distemper shot, and spayed or neutered. We take care of any other medical problems as well. Dogs are brought up to date on their shots and are spayed or neutered. Any other medical problems they have are taken care of. We interview everyone wishing to adopt a pet and ask them to make out an application form for cats and dogs or for rabbits, birds and other small animals. Our reasonable fees do not cover our costs. We are open for adoptions on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 4:00 pm to 6:30 pm, on Friday from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, on Saturday from noon to 6:00 pm and on Sunday from noon to 4:00 pm. Come in and pick out the best friend you will ever have.
