Foster a Pet
Fostering saves lives: be a hero to a homeless pet
Shelters are scary, loving ❤️ homes are not.
When you provide a foster home to an animal from Animal Friends or a local shelter, you are part of a lifesaving team working to create a bright, healthy and safe future for homeless dogs and cats around the country.
By fostering, you’re helping to save even more lives by freeing up space in shelters for additional animals. So, what are you waiting for? Snuggles, silliness, fun, and friendship await!
Indeed, 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. Animal Friends Rescue Project can provide everything you need, including food, supplies, support, and medical care.
Share your home with adorable bundles of love and fuzz.

What to expect when you foster a pet
Fostering a pet 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.Typical responsibilities in the day of a pet foster caregiver include feeding, caring for, and socializing the pet (or pets) you’re fostering.
Fostering a pet is a flexible way to help make a difference in the lives of pets because you can foster a dog or cat for just a night or two — or for several weeks — depending on what works best for your lifestyle and schedule.
Animal Friends (and some shelters) can provide everything you need, including food, supplies, support, and veterinary care; you’ll just need to provide the love.
