Under the direction of Liz Botelho, the Town of Swansea Animal Shelter provides care and shelter to an annual census of 175 - 200 stray and lost animals per year. Happily, 85-90% of these animals were returned to their owners or found new safe and loving homes! With the aid of volunteers and the Animal Control team, the little "extras" of home are provided. Daily walks, socialization, treats and even car rides help make the time spent at the shelter more comfortable for current residents. Dedicated to the belief that all life has value, the Town os Swansea Animal Shelter looks forward to providing a safe and caring environment for all that pass through its doors.

All of our adoptable animals are vet checked, vaccinated, heartworm tested, microchipped, and given 30 day pet health insurance prior to adoption. All animals, if not done, are also spayed or neutered prior to being placed in a home. The adoption process is fairly simple; there is an application to complete. Once completed, the application is reviewed; references are checked and, if approved, the animal is released to the adoption applicant.
Adoption fees (Donation) for cats or kittens are $95 and dogs or puppies are $140
