Gimme’ Shelter: Gus Beans is waiting at the Providence Animal Control Center
Hi there, I’m Gus Beans! I was found as stray under a bush – I can’t thank that nice lady enough for noticing me! I had gotten into something I shouldn’t have and I was so scared. My friends at Bay State Vet helped me to feel better and I am back to being a strong boy. I was someone’s house panther at one point, my coat is so shiny and I wasn’t afraid to be rescued. I am so happy to be here and I come out of my shell more and more each day.



If you can see me, I am still available! No phone calls please, everything is done online and we do need an application submitted and approved before scheduling a visit. We differ from other shelters by offering a one on one experience between you, our staff and the animal or animals you’ve chosen to become a new family member! Please email provanimalcontrol@gmail.com

About the Providence Animal Control Division

The Providence Animal Control Division protects the health and safety of our residents and their pets with progressive leadership and education. We do this by engaging the hearts and minds of the community to help all animals.
Since 2015, we have adopted a “low risk euthanasia” philosophy of healthy adoptable animals. We will continue to improve the live release rate of shelter animals via adoptions, returning strays to their owners, transferring animals to rescues, TNR, programs/services and treating medical cases. We believe that with progressive programs, we can have a more humane City. Through our Gimme Shelter program, PAC is spaying and neutering owned and feral cats for Providence residents. To participate please send a message through our Facebook page at Providence Animal Care Center.
