Foster

Fostering animals is one of the most rewarding and difficult jobs for animal lovers.  It is rewarding because you are actually saving a life and giving an animal a second chance at having a family.  Many animals need that loving touch or caring person or even just a warm, comfortable home.  The difficult part comes in when it is time to say goodbye.  Part of your heart goes with them.  You are consoled becuase you know they now have a wonderful home and you are free to help the next animal that needs you. 

Most of our dogs live in foster homes until a permanent home that meets our high standards is found. Many cats and dogs that need medical attention are also kept in foster homes.  They are able to receive the training, care and most of all love that they deserve. This means that our animals are never euthanized for lack of space or interest. It may take months to find a home for a pet, but that pet has a loving, temporary home with our volunteer as long as necessary. Foster homes are registered with a coordinator and a list of animals is posted for the public. The animals are brought to the center for open adoption or events in an effort to find them good, loving homes.

Fosters are provided with the tools needed to care for the animals.  That includes food, litter pans, crates, toys, etc.  We try to make it as easy as possible so we have more homes for more animals to save.  We requrie your personal animals be spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccines.  Please contact jodydogger@comcast.net if you are interested in fostering.   You can download a foster application if you would like to help save a life.
