We have a special New Year’s adoption to report. Cricket, the chubby, tabby and white girl, has found her forever home with a family that is head over heels in love with her. Here’s to a lifetime of love.

The nail clinic is back. It will be held Saturday Jan. 10 from 10 a.m. until noon. The fee is $20, walk ins only. Dogs must be leashed and cats, rabbits and Guinea pigs must be in carriers. Cash, checks, Venmo and PayPal are accepted.

We are also looking for jewelry donations for our next annual Garden Party. We will accept any type of jewelry in any condition. Donations should be dropped off at the Shelter during business hours.

The Animal Shelter of Martha’s Vineyard is here for our community. We’re always available and our door is always open should your adoption not be a perfect fit. Also, if anyone is in need of cat food, dog food, or a crate, we have plenty and are happy to share. The Island Food Pantry also has pet food for those in need. Just give us a call during regular shelter hours: 508-627-8662.

Hours are: Tuesday, 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Wednesday, 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Thursday; 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Friday 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 9:30 to 5 p.m.
