What is Fostering?
Fostering animals is a rewarding experience that enables you to help our most helpless get a fresh start. The nurturing care of our fosters allows dogs and cats, kittens and puppies to regain health, learn to trust, and acquire social development in preparation for adoption. As a foster parent, you provide temporary care for long or short periods of time for young animals (and in some cases their mothers)as well as sick, injured, stressed, under-socialized, or animals that simply need a place to go until they can be safely returned to the shelter for adoption.
Humane Animal Partners will provide essential supplies such as food, litter boxes, litter, etc., along with medical care for all HAP foster animals. You provide love, individual attention, and a stress-free environment, as well as a willingness to work with HAP medical and behavioral staff to give our foster animals the best care possible.
Who can foster?
Individuals 18+ who have reliable transportation (and communication) to are invited to apply! If you are a tenant, you will need to provide proof of permission to house an animal.
If you have children or pets in your home, you must also have an appropriate, separate area of your home where you can keep foster animals away from them as needed.
