Become a Foster

Fostering helps us save more lives

Fostering an animal increases the chance of adoption and keeps our pets happier & healthier while waiting for their forever homes.

We depend on our foster parents to show these animals what a safe home and loving care is like. Our foster volunteers help us prepare young, shy, injured, ill or senior animals to be adopted.

What is required to foster?

Anyone who loves animals and is willing to donate their time — providing lots of tender, loving care — could make a great foster parent. Ideally, this program is best suited for retirees, homemakers, people who work from home or who have flexible work schedules. We provide all approved medical & veterinary care.

You must be over 18 years of age and have extra room in your home (separate from other pets).
You must also have permission from all adult members of your household, and from any landlord or apartment manager if you rent your home.
To comply with state regulations, fosters must have two site visits a year (every 6 months).
Your current pet(s) must be up-to-date with their vaccinations and must be spayed or neutered.
