Still want to help? Become a Foster Parent!

Sometimes we have animals that are either too young, sick or injured to be put up for adoption, so we are always looking for people to take care of them until they are ready to find loving homes. There is an application and manual that goes along with this huge responsibility.

Requirements: We do ask that all volunteers under the age of 18 have parental or adult supervision.

All volunteers must wear:

• Closed Toe Shoes
• Long Shorts or Pants
• Nametag (given out at orientation)

*Please remember that working with animals can be messy, so don't wear anything you mind getting muddy, hairy and wet.
