Northeast Animal Shelter Market Share Analysis for April 2026

The MSPCA’s legislative and public policy work is essential to bringing about long-term change for all animals. We work locally, on the state level, and nationally to improve animal protection laws and regulations. Our work also includes working with the public and providing resources and information on how to live humanely with our wild neighbors. This work is sustained through our volunteer Animal Action Team members, and Community Advocacy Leaders, who take action by write letters, make phone calls, attend lobby days at the Massachusetts State House, and meet with legislators to help improve the lives of animals.
