Foster Care
Foster families open their hearts and homes to animals who are in need of temporary care outside of the shelter environment. These compassionate
people play an important role in the life of that animal and help to ensure successful adoptions. In a nutshell, foster families save lives!
Who Needs Foster Care?
Many of our cats and dogs benefit from foster care for a variety of reasons:
> Animals in need of socialization or behavior modification.
> Animals too young to go up for adoption.
> Pregnant or new moms in need of a safe place to raise and wean their litter.
> Animals in need of relief from the stress of shelter life.
> Animals in need of a quiet and safe home to recover from an illness, injury or surgery.
What Do Foster Families Provide?
Foster parents are asked to provide supplies (treats, toys, litter, bedding), transportation, and love
for their foster animals. Any needed medication, food or health care will be provided by ACHS.
The length of stay in foster care can vary from a few weeks to several months, depending on the
animal's specific needs. Homes that are able to take fosters on a consistent basis help out the most,
but even homes that can take only a couple fosters a year can be a big help to the shelter's animals.
Regardless of the need, the benefits are endless! Open your heart and
home to an animal and provide the temporary loving care they need!
If you are interested in joining our foster family team please complete
both a volunteer and a foster application. Call ACHS at 608- 339-6700
