How to Foster

Home  /  How to Foster

We’re looking for more foster homes!

Since we have no shelter of our own, we rely on loving people to take in rescued dogs, puppies, cats and kittens that are left out in the cold and care for them until they can be matched with a family. The only requirement is the ability to care for an animal on a temporary basis, in a loving environment.

Every day in thousands of homes across the country, foster families are quietly saving the lives of animals in need by opening their hearts and homes on a temporary basis.

If you’d like to foster, please fill out our foster application.

Help save their lives by volunteering to provide foster care to the stray and abused that desperately need your help! As a foster, you will receive the unconditional love of your foster, the gratitude of PAWS for helping us to continue saving these fur babies, and the joy of knowing that you made a difference in not only a animal’s life, but in the life of an adoptive family!
