UNIQUE MULTI-BUILDING ANIMAL SHELTER & VET CLINIC

About the Space

The animal shelter and its on-site veterinary clinic is located in Central MA in Central New England. We are easy to get to and are located off multiple highways. The shelter is on a rural road yet the property is zoned for BOTH commercial AND residential ( we live on-site next door to the shelter ). The shelter is about an hour from Boston/Hartford and Providence. We have had multiple TV rigs and trucks parked on-site for days at a time and been featured in countless regional/international media (print and TV). We are used to having filming happening on-site. The property offers plenty of lighting, paved flat parking lots, (we've even had 18 wheelers manage to get in and out of our parking/driveways). There is a large medical center located within walking distance (to the left and right of our property) that may allow for overflow parking IF needed. There are multiple buildings on a beautifully 2 acres of landscaped property. A renovated 2 story house UPSTAIRS includes a break room w/ bathroom/shower, microwave and full sized fridge, TV and pull out sleeper sofa and offices. DOWNSTAIRS- The entire 1st floor is dedicated to our high volume low cost spay/neuter clinic. Wifi is available throughout the property as is heat and A/C. Some of the other buildings and sections include a main kennel w/ 19 indoor/outdoor kennels - isolation wards - cat adoption room w/ 24 cages - small 5 indoor/outdoor kennels - multiple fenced in meet/greet areas, an on-site veterinary clinic (and a pet crematorium). In addition, we have a beautiful 65,000+ gallon Koi Rescue pond with multiple bridges, fountains, lights and pergola with 2 resident Pekin Ducks. We are in the process of finalizing a huge mural on a concrete retaining wall that looks really unique and edgy (for an animal shelter!). Within walking distance there is a newly renovated bed and breakfast (The Chocksett Inn) which have suites w/ kitchenettes and there are countless restaurants within a few miles. Just next door is a deli for lunch/snacks and Dunkin Donuts. In our region, there are wide varieties of backgrounds, backdrops and scenery for any time of the year or filming any type of movie/TV show. The 2001 film Shallow Hal even had scenes shot in Sterling. Sterling is the setting of Sarah Josepha Hale's famous poem, "Mary Had a Little Lamb".
