Our mission is to end the euthanasia of all adoptable dogs and cats by operating a no-kill shelter, promoting forever adoptions and humane education, and providing low-cost spay/neuter surgeries all with help from fosters like you! We believe that the animals entering our shelter deserve to have the best possible chance at finding a loving, permanent home. A foster parent has one of the most impor
tant jobs at the shelter. Foster parents allow our animals to receive the proper care and attention they deserve as they wait for adoption. A foster program maximizes the number of animals rescued and it allows an organization to care for animals that would be difficult to care for in a shelter environment—orphaned or abandoned animals, animals recovering from major surgery, or dogs needing one-on-one behavior rehabilitation. Most of these will be kittens and puppies who were not old enough to be adopted but could be saved with some tender loving care and nurturing in homes for a few weeks. Once they are old enough, they can be adopted into permanent homes. For animals that may need a break from the shelter environment, foster care provides a comfortable home setting that keeps them happy and healthy. And, of course, a foster program directly involves people in our lifesaving mission and shows the community that SAVING LIVES is a joint effort. As a foster parent you'll not only save the lives of animals in your care, but you'll give other animals coming into the shelter, who may not need the same level of attention, a space on our adoption floor to find their own loving homes.
