Our Summer Vacation Foster Program for dogs is off to a great start! Click here for the latest update and how you can get involved.

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.
