The Pawtucket Animal Shelter is a municipal animal shelter located in SlaterPark in the City of Pawtucket, RI.
(1)

The shelter is open Monday - Friday 10:00 am - 3:00 pm (closed 12:00 - 1:00) Saturday 10:00 am- 3:00 pm Sunday 10:00 am - 2:00 pm (due to work furlough - the shelter may close. Our shelter provides temporary care and housing for stray and/or abandoned animals found in our city. Visit the shelter and select the animal that is right for you. After you select an animal, there is a brief application t

o fill out. Once that is complete, an adoption counselor or animal control officer will discuss with you the laws and requirements of the adoption. NOTE: The State of RI has passed a law that requires animal shelters to spay / neuter an animal BEFORE it is adopted from a shelter. (Unless it is too young at the time of adoption or medically excluded from having the surgery)

In addition to our $15.00 adoption fee, we are now required to charge a spay / neuter fee to cover the cost of this surgery. The fee will range from $65.00 - $175.00 depending of the type of animal, gender, weight, and the veterinarian used. The animal will receive an examination, distemper and rabies vaccination (1 yr), and spayed / neuter surgery prior to the adoption. If the animal is too young for surgery at the time of adoption, the fees are still collected, a surgery appointment is made for you and the fee is passed along to the veterinarian at the time of surgery. IMPORTANT: Please be sure of your adoption selection as ALL FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. The spay / neuter fees are forwarded to our participating veterinarians for services provided.

*You must bring a photo identification with correct address in order to process the adoption.

*You must be at least 21 years old to adopt an animal.

*You must have the homeowners permission to have a pet in the home. You will be required to sign some additional forms documenting that you understand and agree to abide by the laws and adoption regulations. (The adoption process takes approximately 15 - 20 minutes)
