Types of Fostering
We offer many different types of fostering opportunities to fit a variety of schedules, experience levels, and home environments. Whether you’re interested in Traditional Fostering (caring for a pet until adoption), Transport Fostering (preparing a pet for travel to a rescue partner), Event Fostering (bringing pets to adoption events), or short-term SlumberPawty stays (23–48 hour breaks from the shelter), there’s an option for you. We also have specialized opportunities like Neonate Fostering for puppies and kittens under 8 weeks of age who require bottle feeding and extra care. No matter your availability, there is a meaningful way for you to make an impact.
