Important Information:
The Friends of the Marshfield, MA Animal Shelter, Inc. is an all-volunteer, community-based non-profit established in August 2015. We are a 501(c)3 public charity, recognized as tax-exempt by the Internal Revenue Service and registered with the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Our mission is to promote awareness of the municipal Marshfield Animal Shelter (owned and operated by the Town of Marshfield, MA) through fundraising, financial support and volunteer manpower. We also create and deliver our own programs furthering the well-being and safety of Shelter residents, as well as animals in the community of Marshfield, MA and nearby towns. We support the shelter, a no-kill facility, by supplementing limited town funding for food, supplies, veterinary care, and enrichment. We provide socialization and any necessary training, daily care and adoption coordination for shelter residents.
Our other programs aim to end pet overpopulation through low-cost spay/neuter services available through us or other partner organizations. We also assist struggling pet owners with food and/or veterinary care to prevent their pet’s surrender or abandonment.

Friends of the Marshfield Animal Shelter will provide an emergency pet food supply for your pet in times of demonstrated financial need. You must be a resident of Marshfield or a surrounding town.

Low-cost Spay and Neuter Services
Friends of the Marshfield Animal Shelter will provide assistance with spaying or neutering your pet cat, dog or rabbit. We can provide you with referrals to low-cost veterinarians and even provide financial aid for the procedure where there is demonstrated financial need. You will be required to provide basic financial information and family size. All payments will be made directly to the veterinary practice performing the procedure. The amount of aid is determined on a case by case basis and an owner co-payment is required. Please contact us at 781-837-9759 for assistance.
Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR) Initiative
In collaboration with Marshfield Animal Control and collaborating veterinarians, Friends of the Marshfield Animal Shelter assists with TNR for feral/community cats to help end pet overpopulation. This limited program provides for trapping the animal, providing spay/neuter services and returning the animal to the location where it was trapped to live out its life. If you need assistance with feral/community cats, please contact Marshfield Animal Control at 781-834-6655, ext. 1500.
