s 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.

Oso is a 2 1/2 year old cutie that needs a home or foster. Oso is friendly, potty trained and will ask to go out. Good with dogs his size and he likes cats also. Ideally he would like someone home more. He is up to date on vaccines but we will need to neuter him. Oso is very playful and loveable, he likes to sit on the couch with you and sleep on your bed. please email: [email protected] if you can foster or adopt.

When you expect a dramatic freedom dash…

😂 Not every TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) release goes as planned, but that’s okay! What matters is that our shelter manager Donna is helping control the community cat population while giving them a healthier, happier life.💛

🍦 Meet Ben & Jerry – Looking for Their Happily Ever After 🍦

Ben & Jerry may not be the most outgoing boys right now, but can you blame them? Life in a cage isn’t easy, and they’re still adjusting to all the changes. 🐾

🐱 Ben – Keeps a watchful eye and likes to quietly observe what’s going on around him.
🐱 Jerry – A little more reserved, but you can tell he’s curious and wants to feel safe.

While they may not be showing their full personalities yet, we believe that with time, patience, and a loving home, Ben & Jerry will blossom into wonderful companions. Sometimes the best friendships take a little time to grow. 💛

✅ Neutered & vaccinated
✅ Litter trained
✅ Just need someone willing to give them a chance

Ben & Jerry are available through CARE, Southcoast. Could you be the one to show them what a real home feels like?🏠

📍 Located in Acushnet, Ma.
📩 [email protected] - Message us today to learn more about adopting these boys.

Looking for the best girl? We’ve got her!

Meet Athena! She is four years young and pretty as a picture. She is a petite gal with a soft and sweet personality to match.

Athena has shown she’s good with other dogs. She loves every person she meets. She *might* even be good with cats, we still have a bit more testing to do.

Athena is an all around good girl. She loves walks, would be a great running partner, loves to snuggle and will sleep right next to you in bed. She is not destructive when left home alone, has no resource guarding and gets an A+++++ in every area from her foster mom. She’s even been called a pit bull ambassador by neighbors and friends she’s met on walks!

If you’re interested in Athena, please email [email protected] for an application.
