Fostering
We want every animal brought to us to have a chance for a long and happy life. Shelters can be stressful places for certain pets. Foster homes can provide a less stressful housing option that can often speed recovery, minimize behavior issues, and increase chances of adoption.
Below are some of the animals we occasionally will have at our shelter:
-
Bottle Babies (0-8 weeks)
-
Puppies & Kittens (8 weeks-4 months)
-
Nursing Moms with Babies
-
Healthy Adult Dogs & Cats (4+ months)
-
Pocket Pets (ex: hamster, rabbit, guinea pig, etc.)
-
Medical Case Dogs & Cats
-
Senior Dogs (7+ years)
-
Senior Cats (10+ years)
