About this shelter

MSPCA-Angell in Boston, MA

MSPCA-Angell is a humane society based in Boston, Massachusetts, located in Suffolk County alongside 11 other animal shelters and rescues in the county, and sits about 4 miles north of Cambridge. Founded in 1868, the organization's mission is to protect animals, relieve their suffering, advance their health and welfare, prevent cruelty, and work for a just and compassionate society. Its work spans placing shelter pets—including dogs, cats, and other animals from locations such as Boston, Nevins Farm, Salem, and Cape Cod—into adoptive homes, providing veterinary care through Angell Animal Medical Center, investigating animal cruelty, and advocating for stronger animal protection laws. Beyond adoption, the MSPCA-Angell offers spay/neuter services, behavior training, community outreach, foster care, and humane education programs.
