Welcome
CARE Southcoast is a volunteer-run, no-kill, 501c3 animal rescue/shelter servicing the Southcoast region of Massachusetts. All our rescue dogs are in foster care, while our cats can be visited at our shelter in Acushnet, Massachusetts. 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. ...READ MORE

Check out our cold weather safety tips below to know what to watch out for and how you can keep your pets safe, happy, and healthy through the winter months. ... READ MORE

Needs
FOSTER HOMES are always needed for homeless pets that come into our program. This is a great way to help if you are unable to make a lifetime commitment to a pet.
SUPPLIES are always in demand: scoopable litter, dry and wet cat and dog food, towels, paper towels, bedding, laundry detergent, PetAg Kitten Milk Replacer (KMR) powder. Please contact us about how to donate supplies.
MONETARY DONATIONS to help cover medical bills and the cost of care for our shelter and foster animals are what we need most. CARE is a 501c3 nonprofit organization and as such, your contribution may be tax-deductible. In addition to donating online, you may send donations to: CARE Southcoast, P.O. Box 149, E.
