About this shelter
Animal Shelter of Martha's Vineyard in Edgartown, MA
The Animal Shelter of Martha's Vineyard is located in Edgartown, Massachusetts, about 50 miles northwest of Warwick, RI, and is open Tuesday and Wednesday from 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM, Thursday and Friday from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM, and Saturday from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM. The shelter is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that cares for dogs and cats, matching many surrendered animals with new homes, in some cases before they even spend a night at the facility. It prides itself on offering a one-on-one relationship and a low-stress environment for its animals, giving them comfortable beds, healthy food, and companionship throughout the day. The shelter also supports the community through programs like the Suzie Fund, which helps cover major veterinary expenses for adopted animals with significant medical needs, and it is a proud member of the Massachusetts Animal Coalition.
