Foster
Fosters help to care for shelter pets that need it the most! Fosters are needed for pets that are not doing well in the shelter environment, are recovering from surgery, or need additional care.
We ask foster parents to commit to at least one foster pet (or litter) per year. All of your time spent caring for foster pets helps save lives! Help make a difference in the life of a shelter pet today.

FAQs
-
What kind of pets need a foster home?
Dogs, cats, and critters of all ages need a foster home!
Currently, we have a pressing need for foster homes without other pets. While not every animal in our shelter is eligible for fostering, we have opportunities available for a variety of special cases, including behavioral and medical needs.
Additionally, foster homes capable of offering round-the-clock care for litters of kittens or puppies are consistently sought after. These litters often arrive at the shelter as strays or have been abandoned, requiring delicate handling as they are too vulnerable to be placed in permanent homes immediately. They depend on specialized attention, the comfort of their littermates, and the opportunity to learn vital skills from one another before they are ready for adoption.
-
What supplies does the shelter provide?
Fosters provide the love and we provide everything else including food, toys, blankets, and medical care.
-
How long would a foster pet be in my care?
The length of time an animal requires in a foster home is entirely based on the individual animal. Animals can be fostered anywhere from a few days, to a few weeks, to a few months, and rarely, a year or more. It is all based on the pet and your desired level of commitment.
