recovering from malnutrition
Foster care helped with Toby's re-feeding plan
For an emaciated dog, recovery is not as simple as offering them all the food they've missed out on. CAC's medical team provided Toby's foster family with a structured re-feeding plan to make sure he got the nutrients he needed on the proper schedule and avoid complications! Thanks to his fosters, Toby was able to gain weight and find his future family.
recovering from surgery
Help new tri-pods navigate the world
Every year, we get a handful of dogs who enter the shelter after being hit by cars. Our medical team will determine if surgery or amputation is needed to improve their quality of life. A shelter is no place for a new tri-pod to learn how to walk again. You could be the safe space for them to learn and grow!
recovering from mange
Become a Foster to see transformations like Chumley's
In June of 2023, Sara picked up Chumley to foster. "She had little to no fur," said Sara. "Her skin and paws were bright red." Chumley was diagnosed with a non-contagious form of mange. But after a few weeks in foster care with some medication and love, she started to look like a whole new dog! "It was simply amazing the transformation," said Sara. After a month of fostering Chumley, Sara and her family decided to adopt!
What our fosters have to say:
"I know it can be scary, but the foster team is amazing at finding the right foster for your family. I have a house full of kids, dogs, and cats and we have been able to help 52 lives!"
Sara B.
"Fostering has become such a bonding experience for us as a family. Getting to 'shop' for a foster that we feel would fit with our family, taking care of a foster together, giving each other extra love when it’s time to say goodbye "
Riley B.
