Animal shelters urgently need caring people to foster pets. Our Foster Care Program offers crucial support for animals needing temporary homes. Become a pet hero today!
Foster Orientation
Your journey begins with attending our virtual orientation. This online session provides all the essential details about our foster care program, what to expect, and how you can make a difference in an animal’s life.
E-mail Posts
Stay informed about animals needing foster care through our email updates. We’ll regularly ‘post’ profiles of pets looking for temporary homes, and you can choose to foster animals that match your capacity and preferences.
Foster Rechecks
Regular health check-ups are crucial for the well-being of foster animals. We require foster parents to bring pets to our Animal Services clinic every two weeks for rechecks. Appointments are scheduled in the afternoons, every day of the week, to ensure convenient and quick service for our foster families.
Adoption
When your foster pet is ready for their forever home, you’ll bring them back to the shelter for adoption. Your insights, photos, and descriptions are incredibly valuable in finding the perfect adopters. Foster parents can even help find potential homes before the pet returns. Interested adopters will then finalize the adoption paperwork at Animal Services.
Fostering is rewarding, offering vital care and helping vulnerable animals find homes. Take the first step: complete this form to join our foster care program today!
