Supporting Our Community’s Lost and Abandoned Pets

LMAS State of the Art Shelter

Our facility is large enough to fit MANY animals.

What Makes Us Special

LMAS has built a full animal care campus, located on Newburg Road, adjacent to the adoption facility, Animal House. With this new facility, we’ll be able to provide ultimate efficiencies in receiving and treating in an up-to-date medical treatment center, and adopting pets in a more sterile, clean environment.

Happy Tails

A little update on one of the best boys, former long-stay champion Pawtucket!

As soon as we met him in the play yard, we were instantly in love. My husband even accidentally said, "give daddy that rope!" And from that moment we knew he was coming home with us. We adopted him after he had spent almost six months in the shelter and had been returned by two other families. We were definitely warned that he had a LOT of energy, and a little wild and wooly, but we were ok with that. I remember the first day we brought him home he basically levitated and was standing with all four legs on top of the kitchen table! 

We learned quickly that he is incredibly smart (in some cases too smart), and he quickly picked up on simple commands like sit and stay and down and off. He loves to chase balls (and deer), sniff EVERYTHING, and will fall over in happiness if a stranger just makes eye contact with him. He loves life and loves adventures and is just 100 percent goodness. 

We enrolled him in a beginner's obedience class and he graduated! We moved up to advanced beginners and Pawtucket has learned to heel and even jump over a jump completely off leash. He loves going to school so we are doing rally classes and plan on starting agility classes. We hope to compete soon! 

There were definitely a lot of happy tears and cheers the day we adopted him, and I remember all of the staff happily exclaiming, "is Pawtucket finally going home?!" And he still refuses to shred his teddy bear that his shelter friend Haleigh gave him. - Leslie
