Foster Care Heroes Save Lives!

​​Please help us save lives by becoming a foster care provider!​

Learn more about becoming a foster care provider by joining us for our upcoming foster class ​at 3pm on Monday, April 1. During the class, we will teach you all about the life-saving world of foster care and answer all of your questions. Please bring a friend and join us to start saving lives! The class will take place in the classroom at our shelter, 3839 Bradshaw Rd. 

Foster care providers generally care for their foster pets while they recover from a medical procedure, or until their foster pet is adopted. ​If you fall in love with your foster pet, you can adopt them! 

To save time, ​fill out our foster care program agreement in advance, print it out, and bring it with you or fill out in person at our shelter. When you foster, we will provide all necessary supplies and veterinary care. Please email foster@saccounty.gov​ for more information. 

About Fostering​​

Foster care providers are critical to our efforts to save lives by providing temporary care outside of the shelter to animals such as those being too young for adoption, needing to recover from an illness or injury, for behavior modification, or just because they need a break from the stresses of shelter life. 

In order to make the fostering experience a positive one for both you and the animal, we match animals in need to the foster provider’s home environment, personal abilities, and comfort level in working with various medical conditions or behaviors.

Help foster kittens by donating bottles, heating pads, formula, and food​ from our Amazon​ Wishlist.
