Open Your Heart and Home
Habitat 4 Paws relies on foster parents to provide the best and safest care for our rescued animals. Fosters provide a temporary home for pets in our care while they await their forever home. As a foster you are part of the entire process including the home trial and adoption finalization.
The benefits of fostering
There are so many benefits to opening your home and heart to a dog or cat in need.
Assist an animal in recovering from an illness or injury, with all medical care covered by Habitat 4 Paws.
Provide extra TLC to puppies and kittens who are too young to be adopted and need a little assistance still.
You can enjoy the wonderful companionship of an animal without the lifetime commitment of adoption.
Foster homes help animals transition from the stress of living in a shelter and ease them into new homes.
Why foster?
Many of our dogs and cats cannot be adopted immediately. The only way we can save these animals and help them get the care they need to be ready is with the help of foster homes. Key requirements as a foster include:
-
Provide a safe, clean and caring environment for an animal in need.
-
Provide food, water, litter, toys and shelter
-
Provide excersize and socialization if needed.
-
Monitor for physical and mental wellbeing
-
Transport to and from any necessary vet appointment (or if unable a foster coordinator can help with transport)
-
Help get the word out about your foster by having them attend one of our monthly adoption events.
