Thank you for your interest in volunteering your time to become a Sanctuary at Haafsville Foster Parent! Foster homes play such an important role at our shelter, because when you foster you save 2 lives…since the animal you’re fostering frees up space at our shelter so
we can save another!

A foster home is simply a temporary safe refuge for rescued dogs and cats in order to prepare them for a new home. Foster homes are a great solution for animals who are stressed in a shelter or have special needs. Mothers with puppies or kittens and senior animals are especially vulnerable in a shelter environment and need a quiet place until the right home can be found. If you choose to foster you give these animals a second chance at life and it is truly one of the most rewarding experiences you can have!

We provide all medicine, and veterinary care for the foster animal, food and supplies if needed, and you just supply your time, energy, home and most of all LOVE!

 If you are interested in fostering the following criteria must be met:

• The primary caregiver of the foster animal must be an adult
• If you rent we require written approval of your landlord and contact information
• Since we have open adoptions every Saturday, it is helpful to have foster homes that are local so the animals can be brought there for our adoption events
• It is also required that your own animals are up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered

For KITTEN and/or ADULT CAT fostering, please fill out the Feline Foster application below and someone will be in contact with you.
