Under the direction of Lisa White, the Town of Swansea Animal Shelter provides care and shelter to an annual census of 175 - 200 stray and lost animals per year. Happily, 85-90% of these animals were returned to their owners or found new safe and loving homes! With the aid of volunteers and the Animal Control team, the little "extras" of home are provided. Daily walks, socialization, treats and even car rides help make the time spent at the shelter more comfortable for current residents. Dedicated to the belief that all life has value, the Town of Swansea Animal Shelter looks forward to providing a safe and caring environment for all that pass through its doors.

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.
