Foster is located within Worcester County, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
We welcome adopters from any state!
Canadian adopters are welcome, as well. Although, there may be more stringent guidelines to follow in getting your future family member over the border and into your Province.
Transportation, to your home, can be arranged via a USDA licensed and approved transport company. Extra fees will apply.
Adopting a friend
Each prospective adopter will need to fill out an adoption application. This must be done prior to setting up an appointment to meet the "new family member". Adoption fees vary depending on the animal that is being rescued. We must take into account transportation fees, vetting, isolation and interstate health certificates. Fees range from $100 - $400.
Email is checked frequently throughout the day. You can expect a reply to your email within 2 - 4 hours.
Come Visit Us!
We don't have a physical shelter building. We work out of our home with just a few dogs at a time. My name is Cathy and I work with a wonderful woman named Dorothy Hewitt. Dorothy owns the Animal Aid Foundation of Dawsonville, Inc. and has made it her life's mission to help ANY animal in need. Being an animal loving family, we believe in what she is doing and enjoy helping her to see these animals into happy and healthy homes. We do this as a family effort! My husband, my 2 daughters and myself love each and every one of the animals that we come in contact with and work with Dorothy to assure there is a smooth transition from our foster home to your furever home.
Rescue your next family member!
My name is Marie and I joined Dorothy and Cathy about a year ago. Finding these animals new fur-ever homes has been one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. They take a piece of my heart with them when they go but knowing I've taken them out of a bad situation and found them a warm loving new home makes it all worthwhile.
Most of the dogs that you will see offered for adoption come from the extremely overcrowded animal shelters, rescue, Humane Societies, and Rescue leagues in the south. Some may be owner surrenders from right here in Massachusetts.
You can find us on Facebook to discover more about us and the dogs.
