We are an all volunteer, no-kill, 501C3 animal rescue/shelter servicing the Southcoast Region of Massachusetts. Acushnet, MA.

An all volunteer, no-kill, 501C3, non-profit
animal shelter /rescue in Massachusetts

Volunteer Application: https://form.jotform.com/caresouthcoast/volunteer-application All dogs are in foster care, while cats are can be visited at our shelter at 197 Middle Rd. We also keep most kittens and some special needs cats in foster care. We focus our efforts on pets that wouldn’t do well in traditional

shelters. Our mission extends to the Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) of feral cats, training of dogs with behavioral challenges, and education to avoid rehoming of owned animals. What makes CARE unique is that the volunteers take in older animals, sick animals, animals with behavioral issues that would not make it in a traditional shelter, etc. CARE caters to the population of animals that others find not worthy of life. CARE sees the diamonds in the rough, the tail wags beneath the sad eyes, and rehabs the animals back to being happy, healthy, confident family pets who bring so much joy to their families. Along with our sheltering and adoption programs CARE provide basic medical support to these same animals along with helping feral cats and low income folks who would not otherwise be able to keep their pets. In cases where people have found themselves temporarily homeless we have provided shelter for their pets until they have been reunited with their owners. Most of these pets would have ended up on the streets or euthanized. Imagine losing your furry family member as well as your home ? On behalf of the homeless pets we have saved and continue to save, please accept our heartfelt gratitude and thanks. We hope you will support our mission of not giving up on any animal no matter how hopeless their situation may be. We are their voice when no one else is there.

We are in need of sandbags or the like to put on the ramp leading into the shelter, every time it rains the water runs down the ramp and into our shelter, leaving the bottom floor with a couple inches of water ... it's ridiculous to be honest but we don't have many options of places to move to..Can anyone donate a couple bags or do you know a contractor,etc that would donate or suggest what else we could use.. As always any help is greatly appreciated.

URGENT 🚨 this boy will be homeless this coming Friday

We’re asking for a very specific holiday gift this year - a patient, structured, and willing to train foster home for our nine pound, tiny terror, Scruffy

This boy is SMART. He is also very feisty. He will guard the entire house if given the chance. BUT he is also very sweet. He is a tough dog because he is small and cuddly but if given too much he will dominate the home.

In order for Scruffy to succeed he will need more structure than love at first. He needs rules and to learn his role in the home. We will provide a trainer to help. We desperately want and need for him to thrive and we need your help to get him there!

If you’ve considered a bit of a project dog to test your training skills, this is a great opportunity!

He is also good with cats and dogs - no small kids for him, though.

Please email [email protected] for an application!
