Foster parents must be at least 19 years old and have time to commit to an additional dog or cat in their household. Transportation to and from the shelter, offsite adoption events, or vet clinics may be required. They are expected to provide food, water, shelter, basic obedience, and a safe environment. It is easy to fall in love and get attached to an animal you are caring for daily. Emotional aspects should be considered before committing to fostering. All procedures regarding adoption and everyday care must be followed.
– Short term (average time is 2-6 weeks)
– May be required to take the animal to the vet for us
– Could be any age or breed
– Length of time in foster care could range from 2-6 weeks (until the animal is old enough to place for adoption.
– A visit to the shelter may be required for vaccinating or check-up.
Many animals come in scared or with minor illness. Without extra TLC and treatment, they can’t be placed for adoption. We often need fosters to treat them or socialize them for us to make them ready for adoption. Animals may be scared, sick, underweight, or just stressed.
– Variable commitment times depending on the needs of the animal.
– Follow-up visits to the shelter may be required.
– This can be cats and dogs of varying ages that would benefit from time in a home.
Space is always limited in a shelter environment. Animals that meet these criteria will remain in a foster home until adopted.
– Usually long-term and an unspecified amount of time.
– Must make regular visits to the shelter to meet potential adopters
– Animals of all types that may have been with us a while.
This type of fostering creates space at the shelter and allows us to place additional animals into our adoption program. While in foster care, we will promote the animal on Facebook and Petango.
Please come to the shelter to fill out an application. Because we are a small organization, animals must be placed quickly. We encourage our foster families to only foster pets that will be a good fit for their lifestyle. If we contact you and it isn’t a good time, we will ask another person on the foster list.
Our resources are very limited at the shelter. We provide supplies as availability allows. Anything we provide must be returned after foster time is up. Some costs may be required by foster. Visits to the veterinary clinic or some expenses may be too great for the shelter to reasonably provide. If so, the foster may be asked to return the animal or the foster may voluntarily cover expenses. All circumstances vary. All adoptions or transfer of pet into another home will be processed through Heavenly Orphans'. Advice and assistance are available throughout the foster process.
