We’re spreading the love all month long and giving YOU the opportunity to take a new furry friend home! Join us every week in February as we talk to local animal shelters and meet some of their four-legged residents that would love to become a part of your family. It’s all thanks to Rachael Ray Dog Treats and Market Basket, the store where you get ‘More For Your Dollar!’

This Week's Guest

Big Hair Animal Rescue

Big Hair Animal Rescue (BHAR) is a volunteer run 501c3 rescue located in Sturbridge Massachusetts. Founded in April of 2015 we are a foster based rescue. To date we have saved nearly 1000 lives. Big Hair Animal Rescue is non breed specific; however, we primarily focus on helping breeds that over populate shelters. We are a registered public charity with the Attorney General's Office and an approved shelter with the Massachusetts Department of Agriculture.

Our mission is to decrease the number of adoptable pets euthanized daily in shelters. We focus on partnering with local city and town animal control, by prioritizing local dogs in need. We are committed to helping one local homeless pet in need at a time and responsibly placing them into the community.

How to Adopt

Adoption applications can be found on our website, bighairanimalrescue.com.

Upcoming Guests

Bullied Breeds Rescue

PO Box 225, Nutting Lake, MA 01865

We are an approved 501(c)(3) non-profit organization registered to rescue dogs in MA & NH.

Many of the dogs we strive to save are homeless, abused, neglected or simply misjudged, yet all of them deserve a second chance. Many never get that second chance because they are a breed which has been blacklisted from housing complexes, home insurance policies and even banned from living in certain cities or states. The list of breeds who often face unfair public discrimination is long, but the top four tend to be American Pit Bull Terriers, Rottweilers, Dobermans & German Shepherds.

Our goal is to help give these precious misunderstood dogs a second chance at the life that they deserve by placing them in loving foster and forever homes. We work closely within our communities and through local animal control facilities and shelters to save as many dogs as possible. Our network of volunteers, advocates and fosters work tirelessly to ensure that every dog we meet is given a chance to prove the world wrong.

All of our dogs have been fully evaluated and temperament tested by trained volunteers. We operate solely on donations and our organization is 100% volunteer-driven and foster home based. This allows us to direct 100% of the rescue’s donations and fundraising proceeds to the dogs in our care.

Buddy Dog Humane Society

151 Boston Post Rd, Sudbury MA

The mission of the Buddy Dog Humane Society is to have, care for, and facilitate the placement of stray, homeless, and unwanted dogs and cats as pets in suitable homes: to establish procedures and facilities which promote the health, care and placement of stray dogs and cats, and which prevent cruelty, and alleviate pain and suffering and, in addition, to teach and promote the education of the citizens of Massachusetts in conjunction with the care of dogs and of other pets. Euthanasia is never practiced unless it is considered more humane to do so.

Bark n’ Roll Canine Care

211 Main Street (Route 28), North Reading, MA 01864

Bark n’ Roll is more than a canine care service. More than a daycare. More than a training center. We are an opportunity for your dog to be his or her best self; mind, body and soul. Our mission at Bark n’ Roll is to bridge the connection between human and dog and honor the unique experience of the individual through the power of choice. Through a positive, reward-based training philosophy, species and breed-specific enrichment opportunities, and free-spirited social interactions based on solidly built relationships, your dog is able to harness his or her true potential while learning to co-exist harmoniously.

How to Adopt

Check out our available dogs, foster and volunteer opportunities and how your donations can help us in our mission to rescue ALL THE DOGS by visiting our non-profit 501 (c) (3) dog rescue BnR’s Rock n’ Rescue’s site at rescueallthedogs.org.

The Odd Cat Sanctuary

The mission of the Odd Cat Sanctuary is to help odd cats who have no place to turn. This may be a result of medical illnesses, behavioral issues, being physically challenged, abandoned, abused, or neglected, feral or semi-feral, death row inmates, or seniors. We believe that all cats deserve love, attention, and medical care, first with a caring foster and then with placement in a forever home. We are a 501(c)(3) organization that is primarily foster based, volunteer driven, and relies on donations, contributions, and fund raising.

Adoption applications can be found on our website, theoddcatsanctuary.com.
