East Coast Humane Society has foster homes from FL to ME.
We adopt everywhere between and offer transport throughout the north eastern states, except in RI, MA and NH due to state laws prohibiting adoptions there. We feel that compassion should not be based on geographical location and we choose to help dogs in multiple states.

East Coast Humane Society takes pets from many sources including, but not limited to owner surrenders, high kill shelters and commercial breeding facilities.
We are not government funded such as Animal Control or Animal Shelters. Our adoption fees cover the costs for all the pets in our rescue.
We are a foster based rescue group. Our pups are in homes and not in a building. We do not have a building for you to come see or meet a puppy. Our volunteer foster families will bring pups to events to be adopted to pre-approved homes.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
