FINALLY ADOPTION HAPPENING SOON! THEY FOUND A HOME TOGETHER! THANK YOU TO FOSTER ANGEL MARINA K FOR HER ENDLESS DEVOTION TO THE KITTIES!
Sam and Myrtle are sweet, super affectionate, people-oriented, playful kittens. They are about 10 pounds each and are neutered/spayed; they are a bonded pair, so we hope to find them a home together. They are easy to handle (they even stay still for nail trims!), and they have integrated effortlessly into their foster home, where they have encountered other cats, kids, and elderly people and gotten along with everyone. They were even curious and playful when meeting a dog for the first time! They are very interactive with their foster mom -- they come when their names are called and like to follow her everywhere. They even "talk" to her through... (more)

Molly, a tenacious little senior female Jack Russell is in "Fos-pice" care with her foster parent. She seems to be at end-of-life, but is a fighter as is typical for a Jack Russell. Even though on her last leg, she still rules the roost and bosses the other dogs around. She is probably around 13+ years old now and suffering from dementia and Cushings. She is deaf. As feisty as she is, she's adorable and lovable. Her foster mom, Bev, has had her almost a year and wants to see her through to the end. God bless her!

MEALS-ON-WHEELS FOR PETS
"When the economy is tight and resources are scarce, people sometimes are forced to make
difficult decisions about caring for their pets," says Shirley Moore, President of Save A Dog.
"We have seen an increase in the number of local dogs turned in due to financial hardship and
want to help prevent a pet from losing their loving home because their owners are struggling
with finances. Therefore, we launched a Meals-on-Wheels-for-Pets program that would benefit
pet owners who are suffering financially due to limited income or job loss."
Our goal is to provide dog and cat food for the pets BEFORE their owners reach a situation that would
cause relinquishment of the pet. This program is for those in our community who have lost a
job or means of income. The program will include seniors who are eligible for, or typically
receive, meals-on-wheels and we have reached out to the local Councils on Aging to offer our help.
Many seniors are feeling the pinch of rising health care costs and most are reluctant to ask
for help. These seniors are also prone to feed their own meals-on-wheels to their pets so we
want to offer them a high quality pet food that will ensure their pet is getting a nutritious
meal. Many seniors live alone with only their pets to keep them company. They depend upon these
animals for their mental and emotional well-being (as do those who have suffered the loss of a
job). Relieving these pet owners of the financial burden of pet food supports a happier,
healthier environment for both the owner and their pet. This program provides a service that
is not currently available in this area.

at meals@saveadog.org and if you would like to make a donation to this program, please click

Save A Dog, Inc. is a Massachusetts-based humane society whose focus is abandoned dogs. We take in dogs of all breeds, sizes, and shapes who have become homeless for one reason or another. We work with animal shelters in MA as well as out of state. With millions of pets being abandoned each year, we try to maximize the number of dogs we can save at once, so we work with several rescue organizations in rural parts of the country where there is a pet overpopulation, hence pets in danger of euthanasia due to lack of resources. Save A Dog incorporated as a 501c3 nonprofit in 1999 and our shelter is located in Sudbury, Massachusetts. We have used foster homes as well as the shelter to house and show our rescued dogs. We try to make the best match for applicant and dog.
To date we have rescued and adopted over 8,000 dogs. We offer education to our adopters on how to use natural supplements and a good quality food to care for the new dog or pup. We offer on-site puppy kindergarten classes for our adopters during the months when the weather is favorable. We send our rescued dogs home with an adoption contract that ensures the dog will never again end up in a shelter again. Our dogs are up to date on vaccinations, and we educate the adopters not to over-vaccinate as we know that this can lead to immune deficiency problems. We use a combination of homeopathy and conventional medical as our veterinary protocol. We advocate positive reinforcement training for dogs and obedience training is a requirement for all dog adopters.
We are privately funded via donations. We charge an adoption fee, but it is not enough to cover our operating expenses, so we hold several fund raisers per year to stay afloat and keep the dog rescue work going.
Our shelter is small and we cannot accommodate drop-in visits at this time. If you would like to meet our rescued dogs, please fill out an application and we will send you the next steps. If you have additional questions, the best way to reach us is via email to adoptions@saveadog.org.
Littermates were found, games were played, walks were walked, and the
support you all showed was amazing!
