Shelter phone update - Unfortunately the phone issue was not fixed yesterday when the phone company was out. Should you need assistance call the Pembroke Police and they can contact me for Emergencies. If it is not an emergency you can call my Hanover office and leave a message there until the shelter phone can be fixed. That number is 781-826-4119. Thank you for everyone’s patience while we work on this issue. ❤️🐾

PHONE ISSUES: It has been brought to my attention that the phone at the shelter is not going to voicemail but rather transferring to a local dog daycare. Should you need Animal Control please contact the Pembroke Police at 781-293-6363. We are working on this and hope to have it rectified it as soon as possible.

It's that time of year and a reminder that these individuals are NOT evil and deserve the chance to live a wild life doing what they do. Skunks will not attack you and will only spray out of defense if they HAVE to. It dehydrates them so don't harass them........give them their space and they will not bother you. They WILL eat your chickens eggs if you don't make your area predator proof.....that's on YOU. They are also interested in your insects and mice. They enjoy small snakes when found as well. Learn to live with wildlife.
It's mating season and fixin to be spring... And they will be out and about. This is one of the most misunderstood animals, in my opinion... If ya see one goin on it's merry lil way... Jus let them be!!
Please.... Live n let live 🦨🖤
