Become a Foster

Our dog foster program gives shelter dogs the chance to spend time in a home environment while they wait for adoption.

We provide food, supplies, medical care, and support. You provide a safe place, daily companionship, and a little extra patience.

​

Fostering helps dogs build confidence, practice life in a home, and prepare for adoption. Some dogs may be recovering from a medical condition or working on behavior goals, while others simply benefit from time outside the shelter. Most foster dogs remain available for adoption, so foster families may be asked to bring them to the shelter for meet-and-greets.​

Our cat foster program gives kittens the care and socialization they need while they grow big enough for adoption.

​

During kitten season, foster homes play a critical role in helping us care for more kittens than the shelter can accommodate alone. We provide food, litter, medical care, and ongoing support. You provide a safe space and daily care.

​

Foster families bring kittens to the shelter every 2 to 3 weeks for vaccinations and wellness checks. Once they're old enough for spay/neuter surgery, they return to the shelter and become available for adoption.
