Additional adoption info
At this time, due to both COVID-19 and a limited ability to staff the shelter, we are not open for "normal" visiting hours and are doing adoptions and meet-and-greets by appointment only to those with approved applications on file.
Please note that per the state of NH, in order to adopt cats/kittens to people out-of-state, the cat/kitten must have a health certificate signed by a licensed veterinarian (after an exam) prior to adoption. This means that anyone living outside of NH will not be able to do a same-day adoption, as once they meet and choose a cat, we will have to make a vet appointment to have them seen for their certificate (we do not have a veterinarian on staff).

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
