Fostering gives animals the second chance they need—and gives you the chance to be part of something lifesaving. When you open your home to foster a dog, cat, or other shelter pet, you’re helping animals who need extra time, care, or comfort outside of the shelter environment.
Some pets need a quiet space to recover from surgery. Others need time to grow, build confidence, or take a break from the stress of shelter life. Whatever their story, your support as a foster makes a world of difference.
You bring the love and care—we provide everything else. That includes food, supplies (as available), vaccinations, veterinary exams, and guidance from our dedicated foster team. We’re with you every step of the way.
Foster Opportunities for Every Schedule
Whether you can commit to a few hours or a few weeks, there’s a foster opportunity that fits your lifestyle and availability.
A few weeks or more, helping pets heal or decompress and grow until they’re adoption-ready.
Join the Itty Bitty Kitty Committee and raise orphaned kittens or nursing mamas during kitten season.
Help market and promote your foster pet until they’re adopted, ensuring they never have to return to the shelter.
