Fostering Process
Adopt & Foster | Fostering Process
Foster a shelter animal, save a life!
Each year our foster parents save the lives of hundreds of animals by giving them a second chance. Young, sick and injured rescue animals are placed in loving foster homes for temporary care until they are adoptable. By welcoming an animal into your home, you are removing them from the shelter where they are more exposed to stress and diseases. This is especially important for kittens and puppies because their immune systems are not strong enough just yet. There are many perks of being a foster. You get all the love and cuddles you can handle. It’s a great learning experience for the whole family.
All you need to be a foster is love and transportation. We provide all the supplies your foster pet will need: food, bedding, leashes, litter & litter boxes, crates and medical care.
Becoming a Foster Parent
Please fill out our Foster Interest Form online. We will then give you a Foster Manual and an orientation. You decide what kind of animals you would like to foster, how many and how often.
