PATHWAYS FOR PAWS LEGACY BRICK WALKWAY!
We are moving on to Phase Four of our Pathways for Paws legacy brick walkway. Thank you again to Minebrook Landscaping for installing Phase Three recently - it's beautiful! Pathways for Paws legacy bricks allows you to create your own legacy for everyone to see as they enter the Save A Dog building. By purchasing a legacy brick, you are not only honoring loved ones but you are inspiring our visitors to see the value of pet adoption and to take a chance on a pet in need. The message that our guests receive as they stroll up the pathway is both inspiring and powerful.
You can pay via paypal, or mail a check to Save A Dog, 604 Boston Post Road, Sudbury, MA 01776, Attn. Pathways for Paws.
Thank you for your continued support of this life-saving work!
MEALS-ON-WHEELS FOR PETS
"When the economy is tight and resources are scarce, people sometimes are forced to make
difficult decisions about caring for their pets," says Shirley Moore, President of Save A Dog.
"We have seen an increase in the number of local dogs turned in due to financial hardship and
want to help prevent a pet from losing their loving home because their owners are struggling
with finances. Therefore, we launched a Meals-on-Wheels-for-Pets program that would benefit
pet owners who are suffering financially due to limited income or job loss."
Our goal is to provide dog and cat food for the pets BEFORE their owners reach a situation that would
cause relinquishment of the pet. This program is for those in our community who have lost a
job or means of income. The program will include seniors who are eligible for, or typically
receive, meals-on-wheels and we have reached out to the local Councils on Aging to offer our help.
Many seniors are feeling the pinch of rising health care costs and most are reluctant to ask
for help. These seniors are also prone to feed their own meals-on-wheels to their pets so we
want to offer them a high quality pet food that will ensure their pet is getting a nutritious
meal. Many seniors live alone with only their pets to keep them company. They depend upon these
animals for their mental and emotional well-being (as do those who have suffered the loss of a
job). Relieving these pet owners of the financial burden of pet food supports a happier,
healthier environment for both the owner and their pet. This program provides a service that
is not currently available in this area.
If you know of a pet owner in need, please email us
at meals@saveadog.org and if you would like to make a donation to this program, please click

Save A Dog, Inc. is a Massachusetts-based humane society whose focus is abandoned dogs. We take in dogs of all breeds, sizes, and shapes who have become homeless for one reason or another. We work with animal shelters in MA as well as out of state. With millions of pets being abandoned each year, we try to maximize the number of dogs we can save at once, so we work with several rescue organizations in rural parts of the country where there is a pet overpopulation, hence pets in danger of euthanasia due to lack of resources. Save A Dog incorporated as a 501c3 nonprofit in 1999 and our shelter is located in Sudbury, Massachusetts. We have used foster homes as well as the shelter to house and show our rescued dogs. We try to make the best match for applicant and dog.
To date we have rescued and adopted over 8,000 dogs. We offer education to our adopters on how to use natural supplements and a good quality food to care for the new dog or pup. We offer on-site puppy kindergarten classes for our adopters during the months when the weather is favorable. We send our rescued dogs home with an adoption contract that ensures the dog will never again end up in a shelter again. Our dogs are up to date on vaccinations, and we educate the adopters not to over-vaccinate as we know that this can lead to immune deficiency problems. We use a combination of homeopathy and conventional medical as our veterinary protocol. We advocate positive reinforcement training for dogs and obedience training is a requirement for all dog adopters.
We are privately funded via donations. We charge an adoption fee, but it is not enough to cover our operating expenses, so we hold several fund raisers per year to stay afloat and keep the dog rescue work going.
Our shelter is small and we cannot accommodate drop-in visits at this time. If you would like to meet our rescued dogs, please fill out an application and we will send you the next steps. If you have additional questions, the best way to reach us is via email to adoptions@saveadog.org.
