Foster
Animals come into the shelter for various reasons, some are ready to be adopted while others may be too young, have health concerns or just aren’t adapting well to the shelter environment. We rely on our foster families to care for these animals until they are ready to be made available for adoption. The foster program is not intended as a trial period for a potential adoption.
Application Process
Our foster selection criteria is designed to ensure the safety and well being of the foster animals.
You are a good candidate if:
- You have a separate area for foster animals
- You have a stable living environment (no history of evictions)
- You will not leave fosters unattended for more than 10 hours a day
- Your own pets have a history of veterinary care including spay and neuter and are current on their vaccinations
- You and your household members have no history of abusive behavior
- You are not currently involved in any legal proceedings which might interrupt your ability to care for fosters
Requirements:
- Background Check
- Vaccinations for current animals verified with veterinarian
