Temporary Pet Housing Initiative
Cambridge Animal Control does not offer temporary or foster care for animals. Are you a pet owner who is temporarily unable to care for your pet due to unexpected life circumstances? If so, the Animal Rescue League of Boston (ARL) or MSPCA may be able to help.
Rabies Clinics
Massachusetts law requires that owners of cats and dogs vaccinate their pets for rabies. Most veterinarians offer this service. Additionally, Cambridge Animal Commission sponsors an annual rabies clinic on the first or second Saturday of April.
