The weather is warming up, and it’s the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors and try something new… so why not make a difference while you’re at it?

Starting May 14th, we’re launching our Summer Vacation Foster Program and looking for compassionate foster families to give shelter dogs a much-needed break from shelter life.

What’s involved?

• Short-term fostering (2–8 weeks)
• Giving a dog time to decompress in a home environment
• Providing one-on-one attention and love
• Helping us learn more about their personality to find the perfect forever home

Foster Requirements:

• Live within 30 minutes of one of our Second Chance Vet Hospitals (Southbridge, North Brookfield, Worcester, or Springfield)
• If renting, have landlord approval and know any pet restrictions
• Be willing to share your foster dog on social media and/or attend adoption events or meet & greets when possible

Once you submit your form, we’ll try to match you with a dog that fits your home and schedule. You’ll have a chance to meet before committing—so you can feel confident bringing your temporary companion home.

Ready to make your summer unforgettable? Complete the form below and give a deserving dog the break they’ve been waiting for.
