City of Boston Animal Shelter, 26 Mahler Rd, Roslindale, MA 02131, US

The Humane Society of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, established in 1786, is a historic organization dedicated to saving lives and preventing tragedies. It was the first of its kind in the country and played a significant role in the development of lifesaving techniques and the establishment of lifesaving huts and rescue boats along the Massachusetts coast. Through its Medal Awards Program, the society recognizes individuals who risk their lives to save others and provides financial stipends to acknowledge their bravery. Over the years, the society's focus has expanded to include various emergency situations where lives are at risk, such as vehicle accidents, fires, and dog attacks. While its involvement in lifesaving activities along the coast has diminished, the society continues to contribute to lifesaving efforts at rivers, ponds, and beaches.Generated from the website
