As we head towards the latter end of the year, it’s a great time to look back and see some of our successes for the year. Here’s some updates on recent adoptions that show the impact of all of the hard work of our staff and volunteers on the lives of some great dogs and cats!
Gatsby
We got word from Gatsby’s family that he’s doing great! They took Gatsby to our Canine College classes and loved them so much that they’re actually going to take his sister, Allie, to the classes too! As you may remember, Gatsby had a history of getting too overexci ..read more

Hi Everyone,
We’re hitting peak summer here at the sanctuary. The long, hot days and warm nights make for an exciting time of year. As you know, we do our best here to give the cats and dogs in our care the most normal and enjoyable life we can as they wait for their forever home. During this season, that means getting them the kind of the adventures and experiences they would get in the most loving homes. Here’s a little snapshot of the dogs and cats enjoying the best of what summer has to offer.

I hope you are all enjoying summer with your friends and family, especially the furry ones! Because, as we so often say, they are our family and our best friends. They take us as we are and are utterly committed to us, no matter what. And we do the same with them for them, for better or worse, in sickness and health. So I want to talk a little about some of commitments we’ve made to some of the lovely pets here in our care.

We are so lucky at the sanctuary to be able to see so many cats and dogs find their forever home. Those are the best kinds of goodbyes. Though sometimes, we have to say goodbye to animals who never find their forever home. Some animals come to us toward the end of their life. Some develop health problems like cancer while in our care. The cat team at Our Companions recently lost two of their feline guests and would like to share their stories with you all.
Vivian came to us pretty much as a hospice case. She was found as a stray – with severely matted fur, extremely thin, and in the advanced s ..read more

Here at the sanctuary, we have a lot to be thankful for. We’ve got volunteers who dedicate their time and effort into providing love for some very deserving animals. We have acres upon acres of gorgeous land for the dogs to walk on. We have committed staff who make our workdays cheery and bright.
The cats have at Sebastian House have a lot to be thankful for as well! Let’s see what they have to say about what they’re grateful for.

The Sebastian House kitties are recovering from their Halloween candy hangovers this morning. Some joined in the costumed fun, while others are already getting ready for the rest of the holiday seasons with a merry “bah humbug!” to all the spooky festivities. We’ve got black cats galore this autumn, making the purr-fect Halloween jamboree.

It was a dark and stormy night. Gonji arrived at Sebastian House during a signature New England March snow storm. He had been found as a stray and was in need of help. Living out on the streets made him rather skinny, and he still needed to get neutered. After surgery, and with a blue felt cone around his head, he made his way to the upstairs bunk. Gonji was striking – with his long legs, extra toes, and wide set eyes, he was a unique looking cat. And his affection was off the charts! He quickly became a snuggler of epic proportions, wanted to be held by everyone who came across him.

Here’s our latest update on the construction here at the Sanctuary. The new buildings are really coming together now!
We’ll start with an updated wide view of the Sanctuary:
Check out this gorgeous cat building. The catios are really taking shape! The doors have all been installed and include kitty doors for access to the outside playscapes. Inside, you can really start to see how the place will be set up. Most of the infrastructure is in place and we’ll have walls up in no time.
And, of course, there’s also the two new dog cottages. They are als ..read more
