Have you ever thought about fostering animals in need? Join us for Foster Parent Orientation Day, where you can learn how to become a foster parent and provide temporary care for animals until they find their forever homes. Fostering is a rewarding experience that gives you the opportunity to make a direct impact in the lives of shelter animals.
At the orientation, you’ll:

Learn about the role of a foster parent and the types of animals that need fostering
Get detailed information on the fostering process, including training and support
Meet current foster parents who will share their experiences and tips
Learn how fostering helps reduce shelter overcrowding and provides care for special-needs pets

We provide all the supplies and medical care—you provide the love and temporary home. If you’re interested in fostering kittens, puppies, or adult animals, this orientation is a great first step!
