Animals, Animal Care, Foster Homes, Dogs & Cats, Volunteer

The Humane Society has always had a foster care program for animals who are nursing, young puppies and kitties not yet ready for adoption, and for injured animals recovering from surgeries. The program was expanded to include the pets of military personnel being deployed overseas.

To qualify, deployment must be less than one year and the pet owner must agree to provide all food, medicines, and medical care for that pet during their deployment.

The Humane Society accepts foster animals on a space available basis only, but does give preference to military personnel being deployed overseas upon proof of deployment orders. This does not guarantee that space will be available, but every effort is made to accommodate our service men and women who have to leave a pet behind in order to serve our country.

Foster Families Needed! The Humane Society is only able to provide foster care for needy pets through the generosity of the local community and those interested are encouraged to register with the Humane Society. Families are always needed, since injured, nursing, and sick animals arrive daily, and it is helpful to have a list of people we can call upon to help.

Fostering is a wonderful experience for those who want to help animals; for those with children who don't want the lifetime commitment of a pet, but who want to expose their children to the compassion of caring for a pet in need; for those who want to see our military men and women return to their best friend; and anyone who has the time to provide a home and care for a pet in need.
