Dog Orphans is a no kill humane shelter located in Douglas, Mass dedicated to the re-homing of more than 200 dogs per year.

Some of the dogs given up for adoption have been chosen for service jobs including support to the police, the hearing impaired, and re-socialization of the mentally ill. The Board meets once per month on the third Wednesday of the month currently in Uxbridge and usually requires a commitment of the evening, plus time outside of the meeting to review and consider pending issues. The organization sponsors 5-6 major fund raisers per year. To register your interest, please send a letter of interest to Dog Orphans, Inc. "Board Search", C/c Dog Orphans, P.O.
