CARE Southcoast
A Second Chance for Every Pet
CARE Southcoast is a volunteer-run, no-kill, 501c3 animal rescue dedicated to saving the lives of the homeless, abused, and forgotten animals across the Southcoast region of Massachusetts. We are proud to be a voice for those who need us most, working tirelessly to turn uncertain futures into happy, healthy beginnings.
Our Heart and Mission
Born from a lifelong passion for rescuing the underdog, our organization focuses on pets that often face challenges in traditional shelter settings. We believe every animal—whether senior, special needs, or one with behavioral hurdles—is a diamond in the rough worthy of a loving home. By providing medical support, training, and a safe haven, we strive to transform scared animals back into confident, joyful family companions.
How We Provide Care
Our unique rescue model is built on compassion and community support. While our cats find comfort at our shelter in Acushnet, our dogs thrive in a warm network of foster homes, receiving personalized attention until they find their forever families. We also champion Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) for feral cats and offer education to help keep pets in their original homes whenever possible.
Your Partner in Adoption
Choosing to adopt is a beautiful commitment to a life that truly needs you. We are deeply grateful for our community’s support, which allows us to provide the essential veterinary care and resources every animal deserves. Whether you are looking for a new family member or a way to help, your involvement makes our mission of no-kill rescue possible.
