Sometimes, due to many factors (age, size, medical or behavioral needs) we have animals who are overlooked at the shelter. In an effort to give some of our harder-to-place guests a chance, we are introducing a foster-to-adopt program at Cape Ann Animal Aid thanks to a live-saving grant from Petco Love! We hope that by giving some of these dogs or cats a 2-week trial run, you may see the benefits of adopting one of these lovable animals and decide to make it permanent.
Foster-to-adopt animals are hand-picked by CAAA staff, and any animal not listed below is not eligible for our foster-to-adopt program. If you are interested in fostering to adopt one of the below animals, please fill out the application below.
Details:
- Foster-to-Adopt program gives families 2 weeks to decide if the animal they are fostering would be a good fit for their home
- Animal will be pulled off the website for 2 weeks to ensure there is no pressure on the family to decide before the deadline
- Some supplies may be borrowed from CAAA during foster period
- If at any point the living arrangement is not working out, you may bring your foster back to CAAA
- If you decide not to adopt but would like to continue to foster until your pet is adopted, you will be trained for the full adoption process for public adoptions
- Applications are approved as a typical adoption and are subject to all adoption policies and procedures

SEAN DOGGERY - 5 MONTHS OLD
This litter came into a small rural shelter and quickly found themselves at risk of euthanasia. "It takes a Village Rescue" took them in and found them a loving foster family with kids, dogs and cats. They were being very well socialized! They are happy go lucky puppies who love to explore, play with toys, and get lots of snuggles!! Sean Doggery is a rough and tumble guy who is looking for a dog experienced home with kids 10+ who are up for continuing his training and socialization. |
TARGET - 8 MONTHS OLD
Target is a handsome and goofy boy who really enjoys playing with other dogs and really likes hanging out with people. Target is a lover of food, any kind of snack works for this guy! Target is what some would call a diamond in the rough. We have been slowly working on exposing him to new places, people and things. Target is making friends and getting more comfortable with changes but he will likely never be the type of dog that you take with you everywhere. Target needs a home with dog experience, no children under 12 years and a family who has a fenced in yard and won't mind if Target is a homebody and not the type to join you on walks or adventures away from home. |
BARKLEY - 5 MONTHS OLD
Sadly this litter came into a small full rural shelter and quickly found themselves at risk of euthanasia. We took them into rescue and they are being lovingly fostered with a family with kids, dogs and cats. They are being very well socialized! Snarles Barkley is such a good boy! This little guy has tons of bum wiggles and kisses to go around! He is still learning how to walk on a leash and will need some help with the basics like crate training and house breaking! At the shelter he didn't chew up his stuffy toys and loved a cozy bed to lay on and of course something yummy to chew on is for him! |
PRIETA - 3 MONTHS OLD
Prieta came up with her siblings and is the last of her litter to find a home! Prieta needs a home without kitties as she does like to chase them, but is a very sweet and friendly girl who has lived with other dogs and kids in a foster home. |
ARLO - 4 YEARS OLD
Arlo is a very special boy! First off, he can do a killer impression of a pirate! That's right, Captain Arghlo only has one eye, but this tough guy gets around no worse for wear without his depth perception. In fact, he is quite talented when it comes to batting around his toys. He can entertain himself endlessly by chasing a noisy ball all around the room. This charming and handsome boy loves to get attention from humans and also LOVES the other cats here at the shelter. Okay, Arlo has one more secret to admit. Sometimes this kiddo has a little trouble with his litter box. Here at the shelter, it's a rare mistake, but he does give in to temptation occasionally and pee outside his box. We'll do everything we can to start his adopters off on the right track and hopefully he will steer clear of this issue in his new home! |
PICA - 7 MONTHS OLD
Hello there! The folks here call me Pica! I way to the CAAA with several other lucky kitties looking for a safe an cozy home to spend my days! My foster mom says I am a typical happy, playful and super cuddly lil boy! Pica would love a family of his own to share dinner and movie nights with. One of Pica's favorite past times is snuggling in his kitty hammock and he will surly reach out with his paws for love when he is looking for some extra tlc! Pica is considered a special needs adoption because he has history of feline lower urinary tract inflammation which may require some additional monitoring. |
