Open Your Heart and Home

The goal of Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League's Foster Program is to help as many animals as possible by providing temporary homes for them. Some animals are underage, pregnant or nursing, sick, injured, under socialized, or animals that do not shelter well. Sometimes we simply do not have enough space to house them. Because of our dedicated Foster Parents, we are able to help hundreds of animals who need extra care or special attention.

What is a Foster Parent?

A Foster Parent provides a temporary home for dogs and/ or cats until they are ready for adoption. Fostering an animal requires a more significant commitment than volunteering at the shelter.

How long can I be a Foster Parent?

Fostering can last anywhere from a few days to a few months, depending on the needs of the animal. We always have a need for foster homes throughout the year.

What costs will I be responsible for?

Peggy Adams Animal Rescue league will provide you with all of the supplies you will need to care for the foster animal. This includes medications, follow-up veterinary visits, food, littering, bedding, bowls, crates, collars and leashes. Foster Parents are responsible for transportation to and from the shelter for check-ups and medical care.

What requirements are we looking for?

Foster Parents must be at least 18 years old or have an adult in the household who will be the primary caregiver. Caregivers must be able to separate the foster animal(s) from their own animal(s) for 14 days since many foster pets have limited immunity. All dogs must be kept on a leash or supervised in an enclosed area when outside. Cats and kittens must be kept inside at all times.

Do you offer student community service hours for fostering? Yes!
