What is a pet foster parent?
Pet foster parents provide a temporary home and care for an animal prior to adoption. Fostering an animal is a wonderful way to get involved and volunteer.
Taking animals into your home, loving them, caring for them, and then letting them go takes a special kind of person. The role of the foster parent is to prepare the animal for adoption into their fur-ever home!
From time to time we look for foster homes to help care for our special needs animals.
These animals might be...
-
Young kittens/puppies that are not old enough to be adopted and need care (like nursing/bottle feeding)
-
Animals recovering from surgery/illness
-
Long term shelter residents that need experience living in a real home
-
Animals that are a little shy and need to build confidence
-
Animals that are not doing well in a shelter environment but do well outside of it
Whatever the reason, the animals need a little extra love and care before they can be adopted. Providing foster care for a few days, weeks, or in some cases months can be a lifesaving gift for them.
