Foster an Animal
Fostering is one of the kindest things you can do to help an animal. When you foster a dog or cat, you give them the chance to relax and get used to a home environment so that when they are ready, they can successfully integrate into a forever home. We’ll provide all the supplies you need (food, crates, instructions, medications), and you provide the important things — home, love, exercise for pets who need it, and lots of nuzzles.
Why Foster?
There are many reasons our cats, dogs, puppies, and kittens would need a foster home. Some are too young to be adopted, some are shy or have been mistreated, some are recovering from surgery, and some are in need of socialization. Some are malnourished and need time to gain strength, and some are mothers with babies who still need time to grow a bit before they’re ready to be adopted.
What to Expect
Your foster animal will stay with you until they’re ready to be adopted — usually about 10-14 days— and then, when they’re ready, they’ll head to our adoption center. Sometimes, if they don’t find a home right away, you can continue to care for them by bringing them home with you at night. Every situation is different, and we will work with you to make fostering as convenient for you as possible.
