FOSTER

Foster caregivers provide temporary care for cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies in their own homes. Some animals need just a few weeks of foster care, while others may need longer-term foster placement. Fostering is flexible enough for most lifestyles and, because we want the experience to be beneficial for both you and the animal, we allow you to choose which animals you’re interested in fostering. By offering your time, love, and home to an animal in need, you are changing a life for the better. 

• Kittens and puppies who are too young to be spayed/neutered and adopted out into permanent homes
• Cats and dogs who are nursing a litter of kittens or puppies
• Cats and dogs who are being treated for injuries or illnesses
• Cats and dogs who are overwhelmed by the shelter environment

• Giles County Humane Association provides all veterinary care, medicine, food, and supplies needed for foster animals, in addition to plenty of support to foster caregivers. Foster parent volunteers provide a nurturing, warm, and safe environment as well as lots of love.
