Shelter Break

You can positively impact the life of a shelter pet when you temporarily open your home. Fostering gives our longer-term residents a much-needed break from the kennel and provides prospective adopters with helpful information about how that pet behaves in a home environment. We provide all the supplies you need to care for your foster pet.

Medical

We often need foster parents to help animals recover from injury or illness. Recovery times vary, but what is certain is that the home environment is where the fastest healing occurs. Before matching you with an animal, our foster coordinators will ensure you are comfortable with the animal’s home healthcare needs. Like all our fosters, you will have all the necessary supplies.

Puppies

It’s important for puppies to have a foster home to go to because they are especially vulnerable to parvovirus, leptospirosis, distemper, and more. These diseases can be potentially fatal to young dogs until their vaccines take full effect. Puppies require a lot of care and attention. If you have a schedule that is conducive to caring for a puppy, please let us know on the form.

Kittens

We need fosters we can call upon to help us foster kittens requiring bottle feeding. Because we cannot keep these orphaned kittens unattended at the shelter overnight, kitten fosters will often get the call to foster on the same-day we receive them. If you have experience bottle feeding or would like to learn, please let us know on the form.
