We depend on the kindness, love and homes of our foster parents to help us save hundreds of lives every year. Members of our foster care program open up their homes for shelter animals. They care for kittens or puppies until they are old enough for adoption, animals with illnesses and injuries until they are healed, and animals who need socialization or those who are not thriving in the shelter environment. The time commitment varies upon the needs of the foster pet, but generally is between 2 weeks and 3 months.
Fostering is a flexible, fun and rewarding volunteer experience, and requires a special person- able to invest themselves into the lives of foster pets, and let them go knowing they’ve helped save a life. We provide all supplies foster parents need, from food and bedding to medication. While it is best to have some knowledge about animal behavior and health, we always try to match foster parents with animals whose needs are within your ability level, and we provide ongoing help and support throughout your foster experience.
