Foster

Open your home for a while.

Foster families are how we save pets who do not thrive in a shelter environment: nursing moms, recovering medical cases, puppies and kittens too small for a kennel, and shy adults who need quiet time to come out of their shell.

What we cover

  • Food and bowls
  • Crate and bedding
  • All medical care and medication
  • Training and behavior support
  • Supplies specific to the pet (puppy pads, heating pad for kittens, mobility aid for seniors)

What we ask of you

  • A safe room or area separate from other pets for the first 7 to 10 days
  • Daily feeding, walks if a dog, and basic socialization
  • Photos, videos, and weekly notes so we can help match the pet with an adopter
  • A willingness to bring the foster pet to scheduled adoption events
