Helping homeless animals in Massachusetts since 2009

About Us

Welcome!

Welcome to the The APCSM! Please consider supporting, donating, or adopting from our nonprofit animal shelter. Your donation supports an animal the minute they arrive at the shelter until they are adopted into their forever home, and beyond. As a nonprofit organization, your donation is tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

Sprout

On November 24th, Sprout, a young dog, arrived at the APCSM severely emaciated and in desperate need of medical attention. We are urging our community to come together to support this sweet girl to get her the medical attention she needs and deserves.
