The Shelter is once again looking for applicants
that are interested in becoming foster families
for pregnant cats, mother cats with kittens,
as well as orphaned kittens.
Please call Ellen at 692-1517
for more information.

cat/kitten foster care information brochure
There is also a foster home need for special-needs dogs during the summer months, when adoptions
slow down. We are looking for foster homes that can help out with some of our stronger breed dogs - many of these dogs are not suited for multi-dog homes. These dogs needing foster care have very common levels of dog-tolerance and will need a K-9 friend
of the opposite sex.
Please call Kristyn at 692-1517 for more information.

foster home form.
