Hopkinton – Baypath Humane Society of Hopkinton, Inc. urgently needs foster homes for a handful of dogs in need. Fostering involves providing love, care, and shelter for an animal until they find their forever home. The shelter’s greatest need is for adult only, pet-free foster homes. A fenced yard would be ideal.
The shelter is actively seeking a foster home for “Kayly”, a beautiful three-year-old hound mix. She’s already house trained, but could use help with socialization and obedience. She needs a foster home that is:
- Adult only or older teens
- Solo dog in the home
- Experience with positive reinforcement training highly desired
- A fenced yard would be a bonus
Fostering experience isn’t necessary but experience with dogs is a plus. Baypath covers all of the animal’s medical care costs while the dog is in foster and can provide food and other supplies as needed.
“Most of our animals stay with us at the shelter until they’re adopted, but for some dogs, living in the shelter is tough on their health and well being,” said Executive Director Elizabeth Jefferis. “Foster families make a tremendous difference—giving these dogs the right environment to become the very best pet companion.”
Please consider becoming a foster parent to a dog in need. To learn more about fostering, please visit www.baypathhumane.org and click on “get involved,” stop by the shelter at 5 Rafferty Rd in Hopkinton or call 508-435-6938 or email [email protected].
