What is a Foster Parent?
A foster parent provides a temporary home for an animal (or multiple animals) until they are ready for adoption or until they are adopted. Foster parents are incredibly important because they typically care for animals that would benefit from not being in the shelter, including kittens and puppies too young for adoption and animals with a medical or behavioral condition that is best addressed in a home setting. Foster parents help Peggy Adams save more animals by freeing up space at the shelter to help other animals in need.
Why should I Foster?
How long is the commitment?
Fostering can last anywhere from a few days to a few months, depending on the needs of the animal. We always have a need for foster homes throughout the year.
What costs will I be responsible for?
Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League will provide all supplies needed to care for your foster animal. This includes medications, follow-up veterinary visits, food, litter, bedding, bowls, crates, collars, and leashes. Foster Parents are responsible for transportation to and from the shelter for check-ups and medical care.
What requirements are we looking for?
Can I foster to fulfill court-appointed community service hours?
The Foster Program and other animal-facing roles are not available to those seeking to fulfill court-appointed hours. No exceptions.
Do we offer student community service hours for fostering?
Yes, through our iFoster program. An iFoster is a foster parent that is between the ages of 10 and 17. Under the guidance of a parent or guardian, an iFoster provides a temporary home for dogs, cats, puppies, or kittens until they are ready for adoption.
