Below are a few of the great community resources that we like to recommend in the South End, Beacon Hill, Back Bay, South Boston and other neighborhoods. If you know any others, please pass them along to us so we may post them.

The Northeast Animal Shelter is a wonderful organization, and one that we have chosen to donate a portion of out proceeds to. The largest no-kill, nonprofit shelter in New England, the Northeast Animal Shelter provides a wonderful home to all animals while waiting to be adopted.
