Short-term transport animals have been selected by a rescue partner organization and need a foster home while they await their travel date. These animals are NOT eligible for local adoption. Fosters get to be “pet sitters” for these animals, meaning you do not have to worry about taking them to adoption events or communicating with adoption applicants. While you hang out with them prior to travel, we can keep them from getting exposed to any diseases in the shelter that would hold up their journey. And, animals remaining in the shelter have a little bit of extra space and volunteer/staff time for TLC. It’s a win-win!
Animals needing a Foster Sitter are already in a foster home, but their foster human needs to be out of town for a short period. Rather than the animal returning to the shelter for that short time, we prefer to place these animals with a Foster Sitter. Each post will show the time frame needed.
No posts selected.
These animals are awaiting or have recently undergone a veterinary procedure and we think they’d heal and recover best in a foster home. Click on each animal to see what their specific needs are. Our team is happy to help describe each animal’s needs in detail – oftentimes it’s just a cozy, quiet place to rest for a 2-4 weeks.
