Hi folks,

I know there are a lot of Mass. folks here. For future reference, would some of you please recommend some rescue centers to me? I'd appreciate it.

DO you mean shelters as well? There's Buddy Dog in Sudbury, and one in Brockton ...
Or do you mean rescue groups?

Hmmm...I'm not sure--both, I guess? Anywhere I could get a dog that would otherwise not have a permanent home.

Thanks!

I'll check out that site; thanks, Albea.

North East All Retriever Rescue www.nearr.com Located in the Boston area and serving all of New England, from Maine to northeastern CT They rescue and place all breeds of Retrievers and Retriever mixes. This is the group I work with.

www.saveadog.com A fantastic Boston based group that does great work placing dogs of all breeds. Like NEARR, they hold adoption days at Petco's and Petsmart's throughout New England.

Buddy Dog in Sudbury was already mentioned

Animal Rescue League of Boston...My branch is in Brewster and while they are not officially a "no kill" shelter, rarely is any animal ever pts unless severly ill or shows signs of severe aggression toward humans. They are located on Rt. 6A in Brewster, MA

Karen,

How could you forget dog orphans??????!?!

Next time you come over I'm REALLY going to chew on you.

Sorry, Lady!

http://www.dogorphans.com/index.cfm is where Lady, and Nilla and several of the family dogs came from. I have no doubt Lady will chew on me for forgetting her shelter, as she sometimes still goes back to visit and show the staff what a shiny, happy doggie she grew up to be!
