Rescue Organizations
These lists are not meant to be comprehensive. Please note that MRFRS is not affiliated with, nor do we endorse, any of these groups. If you are looking to surrender a pet, it is your responsibility to find out whether or not the group you choose is a no-kill shelter. Note that many no-kill shelters (like MRFRS) often have a waiting list -- please call first to inquire about each group's surrender policies.MassCats is also an excellent resource for assistance in Massachusetts.
