| 2110.2 | Animal Adoption Agency Listing | MPGS::MARGOLIS | Paula Beth | Tue Jan 03 1989 11:29 | 8 | 
|  |     RE:  .1  I disagree.  I just looked in 666 and it might be a 
    catch all for pet products, and the like, but only one Humane Society
    was listed.  Since we do a lot of "matchmaking" in this file, I feel
    it only proper that we dedicate a note to "animal adoption agencies".
    If we did this, and word of it was put as a reply to Note 1, maybe
    more people would refer to it than just avid "FELINErs".
    
    Please?

| 2110.8 | (Breed) Rescue Leagues, etc. | CURIE::SADLER_TEMP |  | Thu Jan 05 1989 11:40 | 16 | 
|  |     Depending on the breed you are searching for, there may be a specific
    rescue league devoted to that breed here in Massachusetts.  Some
    of the larger shelters may be able to direct you to one.  Some breed
    rescue leagues I have heard of are the Golden Retriever, Greyhound,
    Boxer.  I am sure there are tons more.
    
    Another source of finding a purebred cheap is to contact a breeder
    of the specific breed.  Sometimes they keep a pup just to grow it
    out, then discover that it is not quite show quality.  Many times
    the breeder will give the dog away (with Reg. Papers and agreement
    to have the dog spayed/neutered).  This also helps to promote better
    standards within the breed.
    
    Let me know what breed you are looking for -- maybe I can help.

    Purina and Carnation donate dog/cat food as well as bags of kitty

After searching for a home for a cat (note 2787), I thought I would throw
in a note with all of the information I found on placing cats over the last
few weeks.
	BEST SOURCE:  This notesfile - my cat was placed when someone
	extracted my note and mailed it to someone who never read the
	file.
	NO-KILL SHELTERS:
		BUDDY DOGS 617-237-4747
		status:  Will not take any cat over four years old
			 currently has a long waiting list 
		VOLUNTEER HUMANE SOCIETY 508-365-9470
		status:  Full - no waiting list as they are too
			 overcrowded.
		HOPKINGTON 508-435-6938
		status:  No openings until the fall
		N.E. ANIMAL SHELTER (SALEM)  508-745-9888
		status:  Full - out 3 or 4 months
		PURR-FECT CATTEL (c/o Pat Brody) 508-342-2143 (home)
		status:  Full
		KITTY ANGELS 508-649-4681
		status:  Full - out to end of October
		JUST-CATS INC 508-285-3404
		status:  Full - will put you on waiting list
	NASHUA HUMANE SOCIETY  603-883-8512
		status:  Although they do not claim 'no-kill,' the woman
		I spoke to (Becky) assured me that if the cat was healthy
		and not vicious, they would keep it indefinitely until
		a home was found.  They place the cat in quarantine for
		a few weeks, check for leukemia, have you fill out an
		extensive questionnaire on the likes/dislikes of the cat
		and then work on adoption.
Hope that helps someone!
