For our local friends.

Do not approach wildlife and please make sure your animals are up to date on their rabies vaccinations.

This is not our town. But it’s close.

Please make sure your animals are up to date on their Rabies vaccine AT ALL TIMES!!!!!
This was found inside someone's home... so the excuse that your pets don't go outside isn't going to protect them.

Hi All!
Our Community has always been amazing in helping us help the long-term Shelter Pets. We currently need supplies.
Our Kitten season is fast approaching, and we are looking for some help. Our dog runs are full of Town-owned dogs all getting ready to be posted for new homes, but it takes time.
I am reaching out for some community help. I added our Amazon wish list below. You can purchase straight from the site, and it will be delivered to our door. If you wish to go to the store and drop them off, our hours of operation are Mon-Fri 9-5. If the Van isn't here, please leave donations in the gray storage bin outside our front door.

Our weekend hours have changed, so call ahead to make sure someone is available.

Most important would be:
Dawn dish soap (for baths)
Kitty Litter (any type of clumping)
Adult dry cat food (any brand)


If you order right from the link below it can be delivered right to the shelter.

Thank you all in advance!

Does anyone in the Fenner Hill area recognize this female? She is a very loved cat, beautiful and sweet. We would love to get in touch with her people. Please give us a call at 401-377-7785

The season is here for kittens if you see them please call.

Friendly reminder not to touch kittens if you find them on your property.

Feral kittens are rarely abandoned. Mom is likely nearby hunting and knows her babies are in a safe place. Touching kittens can cause the mother to abandon them.

If you find kittens on your property, call your local Animal Control Officer for advice and/or assistance.

This guy was found hanging out on a porch around 4:00 AM yesterday in the Palmer Circle area. He is microchipped but not registered to an owner.

Would love to return this sweet home.

If anyone recognizes him please let us know or the owner know to come grab him. We are open today until 4:00 PM.

It is with the deepest of sorrow that we must do this. We have grown fond and deeply in love with Miss Cali aka Petunia. Her time with us at Hotel Hopkinton is over. She is ready for her next big adventure with only one goal in mind. To find a heart to fill with all the love she has to give.

Our sweet girl Cali is all healed from her spay and has been accepted into the outbound hound program with Handsome Dan's Rescue for Pit Bull Type Dogs.

Cali is a Five year old American Bulldog. Who loves long walks to the fridge for cheese tax snacks. You drop a crumb she will be there to help you clean. You have carrots that you need help eating she’s all about helping out. She’s your girl!

She loves basking in the sun so a fenced in yard would be Prefured so she can just laze about catching rays.

You have kids! No problem! She’ll love on them. Cali is happy to meet anyone! She adores people!

We’re not 100% sure on cats as this is not something we can safely check at the shelter. And she IS DOG AGGRESSIVE! Dog aggression is no problem tho! She wouldn’t like to share the attention anyway.

Anyone who comes in to meet this sweet girl we know you will fall in love.

If your in the market or arnt sure if your in the market please fill out a jotform application below. Once our background check is completed we will call for a meet and great. We only do one at a time so please be patient.

As always. Cali may not be a fit for your home but If you could kindly share her by stopping in on our main page, spreading her far and wide would be more than helpful.

Spent the morning explaining to Ziggy that he has a new home out there somewhere.. They just havent found him yet... He understands.. But is growing impatient.

Ziggy is a three year old male who was surrendered with his brother due to their owner's passing away. He has been neutered and vaccinated.

If interested in adding this sweet, sweet boy into your home, please fill out a jotform application.
