Foster Intro

What is Fostering?

Fostering is a temporary arrangement where you provide a safe, loving environment for animals until they find their permanent home. Animals in need of fostering might include:

• Puppies or kittens who are too young for adoption (under 8 weeks old)
• Senior pets who require extra care
• Animals recovering from illnesses/injuries/surgeries
• Pregnant/nursing animals needing a quiet place to give birth and nurse their babies
• Shy animals who need socialization to build their confidence
• Animals who are too stressed in the shelter environment
• Animals who require behavioral help/training
• Animals who have been in the shelter for over 2 weeks and need a nice vacation from the shelter

As a foster caregiver, you are helping animals thrive outside the shelter environment, providing them with the stability, care, and love they need to prepare for adoption.
