BECOMING A FOSTER FAMILY
We sometimes place cats or exotic animals in foster care. Some of them do not respond well to the environment of the shelter and others require special care. The stay of a pet in a foster family can last from a few days to a few months depending on the case. Being a foster family is a wonderful and personal way to help save animals in need.
If you are interested in becoming a foster family, fill out the appropriate online form, and someone from the shelter will contact you.

Their needs can include: potty training | socialization | medical treatments
The profile sought:

- able to come to the shelter (Delson) every 2 weeks for follow-ups – and quickly in case of emergency
- live in a house with a fenced yard
- pets used to being around dogs, not reactive
*only selected families will be contacted, thank you!
VOLUNTEERING

Here is how our volunteers help us on a daily basis:
