Last year we took in two dogs, both with extremely complicated broken legs. After veterinary consults, the only option was amputation.

Walter and Natalie were adopted to amazing homes and now serve as canine ambassadors for SAS!

Want to meet them? Join us for Dine Out for Dogs and Cats on 8/27!

Natalie will be at Stoked Pizza in Cohasset 6:30-8 pm
Walter will be at Tinker's Son in Norwell 5-6:30 pm

These wonderful restaurants supported SAS, now let's support them!

Yes, this is a real dog. We know he looks like a stuffed animal, a little fluffy creature made up by a child in imaginary play. A constant winking little best friend you want to carry around in a purse. A fluffy dream cloud of a pup.

Wally is 9-months-old of perfect puppy dog. He is high energy, a ball of joy and an absolute delight to be around.

Wally loves other dogs and humans of all sizes. He would love an active home, someone who takes him on adventures, best friends to play fetch in the yard. He loves toys and has all the fun qualities that come along with a young dog.

Since he was found a stray, we don't know how Wally is in a home but he keeps a clean kennel here and has made friends with all. Since he is missing an eye, he can be a little nervous when quickly approached on the blind side.

One of the cutest creatures to grace our shelter, you'll love Wally like we do.

✨Meet Scarlett – Our Gorgeous Mastiff mix✨

Scarlett is a stunning 2 ½ year old bluish-gray Neapolitan Mastiff mix who’s been patiently waiting at the shelter for her chance at a forever home. At about 90 pounds of love, she’s equal parts big, goofy playmate and gentle, soulful snuggle buddy.

💙What makes Scarlett special:
• Sweet and kind – when you become her best friend, it's for life
• Playful and silly – loves romping with other dogs. She is the boss though!
• Loyal and protective – she’s got a big bark, Mastiff lovers know that is a typical greeting.

🏠Scarlett’s Ideal Home:
• Adult-only or families with older kids.
• A cat-free home.
• A family who understands big dogs and will give her the space, love, and structure she needs.

Scarlett was a stray dog but we have learned a lot about her to help set her up for success!

Dog lovers – please share Scarlett’s story far and wide so we can find her the forever home she deserves 🐾

Florence is a reserved lady who once she warms up, you'll find a lovable feline!

At about 2-years-old, Florence will thrive in a more quiet home that gives her time to feel safe and loved. Florence previously lived with another cat and will likely adjust with proper interactions to another cat in the home.

A true beauty, Florence will be a great feline companion. Email [email protected] to apply!

Franklin was found as a stray in Weymouth in 2024. At some point this dog was loved but no one ever claimed him.

This extremely sweet dog needed both eyes removed but that never dampened his spirits. He was adopted to a home on Cape Cod and enjoyed swimming and being with the people who he loved deeply.

Sadly, Franklin was diagnosed with lung cancer in June of this year. He had some good times with his family and the day before he passed, swam in his favorite spot.

From the people who loved him "I am convinced he was the nicest and best behaved dog I have ever met or seen. We gave him a great retirement, he gave us unconditional love."

Rest easy Franklin 🌈 You were one loved boy.

Looking to add some spice to your life? 🌶️

Likely distant relatives of local bob cats, this zesty crew of kittens are looking for special homes!

We currently have six extra spicy little friends here, not a super easy adoption! They have been in foster care and done ok, but need lots of extra TLC.

The good news? They love other cats! If your cat is looking for a fun and playful friend, they will fit right in. With you? Time will will tell. We encourage lots of extra smooshing and love!

If you're up for a project or just a best friend for your cat, we got em! Email [email protected] to apply!

Ready for the life of the Paw-ty!? Say hello to Maisy!

Maisy is a fun-loving hound mix puppy with a nose for adventure and a heart full of joy!

Maisy is everything you’d expect from a hound pup, goofy, playful, curious, and full of energy. Whether she’s chasing after toys, bounding through the yard, or exploring the world with her sniff-tastic snout, Maisy lives life to the fullest.

She’s a social butterfly who loves meeting people and other dogs. Doggy playdates? Yes, please! Long walks and outdoor adventures? Count her in! After the fun, she’s more than happy to crash for a cuddle session and some well-deserved belly rubs.

Bonus Fun Fact: Maisy's ears are 80% personality and 20% radar system. They're floppy, fabulous, and express exactly how she’s feeling at all times!

Maisy's Ideal Home:
🐾 An active family or individual
🐾 A home ready for big puppy energy (and big puppy snuggles)
🐾 A yard or regular access to outdoor space
🐾 Bonus if you’ve got another playful dog to be her buddy!

If you're looking for a big-hearted pup who’s always up for an adventure (and a nap right after), Maisy is your girl. Come meet this happy hound and let the fun begin!

Please email [email protected] if you are interested in adopting marvelous Maisy!

If you're looking for the perfect walking companion and cuddle buddy, Bella is your gal! At 8-years-old, the dog has plenty of puppy s***k and loves a good game of fetch, then loves nothing more than napping on the couch.

Bella came to us pretty severely matted and was not very tolerant with a lot of handling. After a grooming, she is looking and feeling great! While she doesn't want strangers to be touching her too much, she bonds very quickly with her humans!

This lovable pup is currently in a foster home with another dog. While they get along great, Bella is the boss. She would do fine with another dog who doesn't mind getting pushed out of the way while she gets all the attention or would be fine as the queen of her new home.

Bella is house broken, an excellent quality in a small dog! She also recently had a dental so her breath is smelling much better!

This really great little lady can't wait to be the center of your world. Email [email protected] to apply!
