If you’re not yet ready to adopt, consider fostering.

Volunteer to serve as a foster parent to a litter of kittens or puppies or an adult cat or dog. Animal Friends covers the cost of routine and veterinary care while a pet is in foster care. All animals in foster care receive vaccinations and are heartworm, feline AIDS, and feline leukemia tested.

We're looking for foster parents who can provide temporary, safe, loving homes until permanent homes are found. Foster parents should be available for visits between a pet and potential adopters. This can take place either in the foster parent’s home or at the Sanctuary during Sanctuary hours.
