Who We Are
Open Your Home to an Animal in Need!
Animal Welfare Department Foster volunteers help build shelter capacity and provide animals with the individual care and support they need!
Our foster volunteers open up their homes to take care of some of our community's most vulnerable animals. Foster parents are trained to meet the needs of specific populations of animals, based on their need categories. Some of the foster parent responsibilities include:
- Helping animals recover from illness or injury
- Caring for new animal mothers and their litters
- Taking care of newborn baby puppies and kittens
- Providing a quality of life for elderly animals who need extra care.
- Bottle feeding animals without mothers.
- Socializing dogs and cats who are learning good behaviors for their forever homes.
Our foster volunteers help us build our capacity to provide the right level of attention and care to give our four-legged community members the best quality of life and most appropriate level of care to thrive, no matter their situation. All foster volunteers receive the right training for the work they do.
