Helping homeless animals in Massachusetts since 2009
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.
Enter your APCSM Alum or Vote for your favorite!
Enter your adopted APCSM animal into our contest for a chance to have them featured in our 2027 calendar! Entry fee is $20. The top 13 winners will be featured in the calendar and our shelter photographer will take new, high-quality photos of each winner!
Vote for your favorite animal
Vote between the APCSM adopted dogs, cats, and smalls! 1 vote = $1, with all proceeds going to the shelter’s emergency medical fund. Voting ends June 15th at 6pm. Our goal is to reach $12,000! Can you help us pick the APCSM’s Next Top Calendar Models?
