About Us

Providing state-of-the-art veterinary care

Our compassionate team of highly experienced veterinarians, technicians, board-certified specialists, and support staff helps tens of thousands of pets and their families every year by providing the highest standard of primary care, specialty care, urgent care, and emergency veterinary services. In addition, our MSPCA-Angell Community Clinics provide low-cost veterinary care to financially qualified clients in need.

Finding loving homes for animals

We care for thousands of animals yearly at our Boston, Cape Cod, Nevins Farm, and Northeast Animal Shelter animal care and adoption centers. The MSPCA-Angell staff and volunteers provide daily care and medical treatment to help these animals find loving homes.

Delivering vital resources | Keeping families and pets together

At the core of the MSPCA-Angell is the belief that families and pets belong together. While our adoption programs work to bring people and animals together, our Community Outreach program works to keep families and pets together by offering affordable and accessible animal care resources, such as pet meals and vaccinations to families who need them.

Transporting animals in need

Many shelters outside of Massachusetts are overcrowded and need help. By leveraging our relocation, transport, and adoption expertise, we provide help for thousands of animals in need. We also address local overpopulation through mentorships with our relocation partners. Within Massachusetts, we led the formation of the Massachusetts Animal Shelter Support (MASS) coalition, bringing together six animal welfare groups across Massachusetts to increase adoptions, reduce euthanasia and improve the health and well-being of shelter animals across Massachusetts.

Improving animal protection laws

The MSPCA-Angell drives lasting change for animals through legislative and public policy advocacy. Our team works locally, on the state level, and nationally to strengthen animal protection laws, supported by Animal Action Team members and Community Advocacy Leaders, who write letters, make calls, and lobby at the Massachusetts State House.

Protecting animals from cruelty

Our fully-commissioned law enforcement officers work to improve animal welfare by investigating complaints, issuing warnings, conducting follow-ups, and providing education. Partnering with our Community Outreach team, they proactively address issues before they escalate.

The MSPCA-Angell strives to inspire better animal care and treatment by empowering individuals with knowledge. We educate the public on animal welfare, health, and behavior through workshops, seminars, and interactive sessions tailored to diverse age groups and interests.
