Blackstone Regional Animal Shelter “Foster to Adopt” Program

Blackstone Regional Animal Shelter’s “Foster to Adopt” Program helps match loving individuals/families with rescue animals in need!  This program allows for a 7 day trial period to ensure the match is a Pawfect Fit for both adopter(s) and animal(s).  Within the 7 day trial period individuals/families may either decide to keep their new family member or, if for some reason things are not working out, return their Blackstone Regional Animal Shelter pet for a full refund of the adoption donation.  Blackstone Regional Animal Shelter looks to welcome new adopters into the Blackstone Regional Animal Shelter community where adopters can share their special experience of opening up their hearts and homes to their Blackstone Regional Animal Shelter Pet!
