We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) public charity whose mission is to support the health and welfare of Marshfield's animals and assist the town Animal Shelter.

Our mission is to promote awareness of and participate in the activities of the town owned Marshfield Animal Shelter and to create and deliver our own programs furthering the well being and safety of Shelter residents and animals in the community of Marshfield, MA.

Specifically, we support the Shelter, a no-kill facility, in its efforts to provide food, veterinary care, training and suitable homes for Shelter residents. We also promote awareness of pet overpopulation, its consequences and the availability and positive impact of spay/neuter services.

Animals in the Marshfield community, who are at risk of neglect, abuse, surrender, or abandonment may also benefit from other assistance and programs.
