Become a Foster and Save a Life


Can you open your home and heart to an animal in need?

Why Foster?

The why is simple—it saves lives and helps the neediest of homeless pets through tough times. Shelters are crowded and can be stressful even for the most well-adjusted pet. In times of severe overcrowding, it’s literally a race against time to find safe placement. Fosters often focus on helping the most shy, the most sensitive, and the most vulnerable dogs and cats. Without foster care, those animals would be lost in the shelter and few would get the chances they deserve to find forever homes. As a foster parent, you can offer shelter pets an opportunity to blossom and show their beautiful personalities in a safe home environment. You can offer hope!


Fostering is Flexible & We Cover the Expenses!

That's right, you provide the home. We provide the food. 

Join Our Foster Team

What we ask of you

Love them, hug them, take them for walks (if they’re old enough) and teach them how to be wonderful, happy pets!  You take care of the love and home, we provide you with the food and medical care. 


Become their paparazzi AND their agent! Take oodles of cute photos and videos to highlight their best personality traits and write a fun, flattering bio for their web page. Fosters are invited to share photos and videos of their foster pets on social media to promote adoption. Our Foster Coordinator will screen adoption applications and rescue inquiries, and will work with you to schedule meet-n-greets. Of course if you decide they are a perfect fit for your home, you can also adopt and make them a permanent part of your family!  


How to sign up


To become a foster parent you can sign up online. Fill out the simple questionnaire, complete our quick training and you’re ready to go! It’s that simple! Soon you’ll be on the road to saving lives and helping out your community in this tough time.

Second Chance Pals

Our supporters created this program to call attention to the plight of older and/or sick pets at our animal center. These animals, through no fault of their own, often found their lives in jeopardy in our animal center. With this program, our mission is to:


  • Provide a second chance to the “at risk” adult dogs and cats
  • Find foster care until a forever home can be found.
  • Provide educational material.


Give to Second Chance Pals today!
