Animal Shelters in Norwood, MA

Norwood has two listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, in Norfolk County. The mix is fairly even between rescue organizations and humane societies. East Walpole and Dedham, both within about four miles, have listings of their own. Not many, but the ones here are ready to go home today.

Norwood has two listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first.

A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.

The Norwood listings all fall in Norfolk County, which is worth knowing if you are checking whether a shelter takes animals from your area.

If nothing here suits, East Walpole, Dedham and Medfield all have listings within about seven miles. Each one links through from the sidebar.

Some listings here carry a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
