Fostering
Frequently Asked Questions
Fostering is taking in a rescue animal as they wait their forever home. Some of these pets will require a period to recuperate, build up their confidence, pick up basic routines, and just feel the warmth of a loving home. As a foster parent, you play a key role in this process.
As a foster-based rescue, our animals live in real homes where they receive individual care, love, and attention. This allows us to better understand each pet’s needs, reduce stress, and prepare them for successful adoption.
It’s simple. Submit a foster application, and our team will connect with you to learn more about your home, lifestyle, and experience. Once approved, we’ll work with you to find a foster pet that feels like the right fit.
You must be approximately 55 mile radius of Lockport, NY 14094 USA.
Fosters provide a safe, loving environment, daily care, exercise, socialization, and lots of patience. You will also share updates, photos, and let us know how your foster pet is doing so we can find them the best possible home.
Every foster journey is different. Some may only need a foster home for a few days or weeks, while others may need longer depending on their medical needs, age, or adoption timeline. We’ll always communicate with you throughout the process and provide support every step of the way.
