Three organizations, one goal
About Sweet Paws Rescue
Sweet Paws Rescue (SPR) is a registered non-profit animal rescue based in Massachusetts. They are a grassroots, boots-on-the-ground, foster-based, and volunteer-powered organization. Since 2011, they have rescued nearly 22,000 animals from two of the poorest counties in Mississippi and Alabama, giving dogs and cats a second chance at life, while also serving as a New England resource for abandoned, displaced, and cruelty-seized animals.

Sweet Paws Rescue has found its forever home!
After 15 years of saving animals, we are thrilled to announce the purchase of a 20-acre farm in Boxford, Massachusetts. This beautiful property will become the heart of our rescue, sanctuary, and humane education work, while we continue our foster-based mission.
The purchase marks the completion of Phase 1 of our $4.5 million capital campaign—but there’s more to do. Over the next two phases, we’ll renovate the barn for rescue-ready spaces, create community trails and play yards, and launch humane education programs. With your support, we can transform the farm into a place of healing, learning, and lasting impact for animals and people alike.

We have completed phase one of our capital campaign, “A Forever Home for Sweet Paws Rescue,” by purchasing a 20-acre farm in Boxford, MA. The plans for this property include a brand new rescue facility, a humane education center, supplemental vetting facilities, and off-leash walking trails for the surrounding communities.
-
We have outgrown our current rented facility in Groveland. We have expanded, and our current facilities have struggled to keep pace. As we continue to meet the demands of a growing population of unwanted, neglected, and victimized animals, we recognized it was time to adjust our “forever home” to meet our mission. The farm will provide us with the facilities and physical space to serve the many animals we rescue, and the resources to perform supplemental in-house veterinary care. Additionally, “Sweet Paws Rescue at the Farm” will offer education programs, assist local animal control officers, and provide off-leash space for our animals and members of our surrounding communities.
This initiative will allow Sweet Paws Rescue to establish a legacy to ensure that our rescue and humane education efforts continue through future generations.

A 20-acre farm property located in Boxford, MA, previously known as Spring Tide Farm, a beloved landmark in the New England horse community.
-
Sweet Paws Rescue purchased the property in late Summer 2025, and is currently engaged in the renovation process. The farm’s existing barn infrastructure and miles of trails offer a layout that not only accelerates Sweet Paws Rescue’s timeline but also strengthens its long-term vision.
-
By working alongside volunteers, experienced campaign strategists, peer partnerships, and through generous donor gifts and pledges, we believe we will reach our fundraising goals, while remaining a debt-free organization.
-
Our total projected costs are approximately $4.5 million.

Since 2017 Sweet Paws Rescue has rescued more than dogs. We love cats! Phase 2 includes outfitting “Casa de Cats,” a dedicated, safe living space for cats awaiting adoption, providing them with the comfort and security they need as they wait for their new homes.
