Fostering Saves Lives
Foster parents provide temporary homes for dogs/puppies and cats/kittens before adoption. Providing foster care is a beautiful and personal way to contribute to saving homeless pets.
​
Pets thrive in homes, and that is our goal. Fostering helps reduce overcrowding in shelters and opens up space for another animal to be saved. It also helps prepare animals for adoption by giving them a chance to live in a home where they can fully express their personality, work to overcome fears or recover from trauma.

THE PROCESS
We want to make fostering with us as accessible as possible. However, we do have some requirements for participating.
To get started, complete the dog or cat foster questionnaire. We’ll reach out when a pet meeting your criteria is ready. If you have dogs, we can arrange a meet and greet with your pets at our shelters.
​
Our greatest need is foster homes for medium-to-large (40-60lbs) dogs.
REQUIREMENTS
-
Be at least 18 years old
-
Live within a reasonable travel distance to your chosen shelter
-
Provide transportation for veterinary visits or emergencies
-
Offer a safe, indoor, temperature-controlled space and adequate food
-
Stay in contact with your Foster Coordinator and Foster Coach
