Foster a Pet

Our foster team is a very important part of the shelter!  Fostering saves two lives: the animal going into foster care, and the animal entering the empty cage.  The shelter provides all medical care for foster animals; the foster parent provides, food, water, cat litter, and lots of love!

We always need foster families to:

  • Care for puppies and kittens until they are old enough for adoption.  It is very difficult for young animals to survive in a shelter environment - the ideal situation for them is a foster home where they can be cared for until they're ready for adoption.
  • Train dogs.  Please ask about our K9 Basics training program for shelter dogs.
  • Give an animal a chance to get out of a cage. Some animals spend months in their cages before being adopted, which is very stressful.  You can help by giving them some time outside of the shelter and getting them used to a home.
  • Foster a special needs animal that requires extra care.
  • Foster a sick animal that is undergoing veterinary treatment.
  • Foster an animal to free up limited cage space when the shelter becomes full.

Interested?

If you are interested in fostering or would like more information, please email us at camcoshelter@yahoo.com. You will need to complete the foster application and then schedule a time to pick up your foster animal. An experienced volunteer or staff member will meet with you to ensure a perfect match for your situation. We want this to be a positive experience for both you and the animal.
