FOSTERING SAVES LIVES
Be a hero to a homeless pet.
Snuggles, fun and friendship await!
When you provide a foster home to an animal, you are part of a lifesaving team working to create a bright, healthy and safe future while freeing up space in our shelters for additional animals. So, what are you waiting for?
Fostering is an easy, direct and short-term way to make a lifetime of difference. It simply means temporarily opening your home to pets in need and giving them love and care while they wait to be adopted. CCARE can provide everything you need, including food, supplies, support and medical care.
Ready to start fostering? Join us!
To begin, you'll need to apply to be a volunteer. This will collect the information we need to get started. Following that, we will meet with you to review your paperwork, understand your interests and goals, and explain the training plan. Once approved, you'll be on your way to fostering.
If you have questions and want them answered before you start the process, just give us a call. We look forward to working with you!
