Foster
Fostering is a loving way to help a shelter animal acclimate to a home setting before being adopted into a permanent home. It also helps animals by freeing up much-needed space, so we can save even more lost or homeless pets. As a foster parent, you would welcome a shelter animal into your home and provide him/her with proper care and lots of love. We provide all food, toys, supplies, medical care, and a support team to help you with any questions you may have during the foster period, including tips on breed personalities, behavior training, and health. It’s the perfect blend of your love of animals and your desire to give back to your humane society!
Can’t Foster Right Now?
Consider Helping Another Way!
If you’re not ready to take the plunge into fostering just yet, but still want to help, we have some options for you! We crunched the numbers, and on average HSSW will spend approximately $500 per kitten from the time the kitten is born to the time they are able to be adopted. This adds up very quickly as HSSW foster families will help to raise close to 1,000 kittens each year! You can help offset these costs by making a monetary donation using the ‘Donate’ button below. Would you prefer to give something specific to our program? You can also help us and our foster families care for these pets by purchasing much-needed supplies from our Wish List by using the ‘Our Wish List’ button below.
