The Mansfield Animal Shelter is dedicated to providing high-quality care and finding loving, permanent homes for the animals in our community. We are proud to be one of the most active shelters in Southeastern Massachusetts, maintaining an excellent reputation and a high rate of successful adoptions.
Established as a vital resource for the Town of Mansfield, we provide a safe haven for stray and surrendered animals. Our operation is made possible through the tireless work of our dedicated volunteers and our partnership with the Animal Control Officer, ensuring every animal receives care twice daily, 365 days a year.
While we work closely with the town, the Mansfield Shelter Friends, Inc.—a 501(c)(3) non-profit—is the backbone of our medical support. Because the town does not cover veterinary expenses, your generous donations, fundraisers, and adoption fees directly fund the essential medical care, vaccinations, and spay/neuter services our animals need to thrive.
Our adoption counselors are passionate about creating lasting bonds between our animals and their new families. We take the time to learn each pet’s unique temperament, because we believe the best adoptions happen when a pet’s personality and energy level align perfectly with your lifestyle.
Whether you are ready to adopt, interested in volunteering, or want to contribute through our wish list, there are many ways to make a difference. We invite you to visit our shelter on Fruit Street, meet our adoptable residents, and become part of our ongoing mission to give these wonderful animals a second chance at a happy life.
