Foster Requirements

• All pets in the household need to be spayed/neutered and current on core vaccines (DHLP or DHLPP and rabies for dogs; FVRCP or FVRCPC and rabies for cats). We check with your veterinarian before approving your foster application to make sure this requirement is met.
• Foster cats and kittens need to be isolated (in an extra bedroom, bathroom, etc.) from pet cats and kittens.
• Foster parents need to make a commitment to keep their foster animal for the full estimated duration of foster.
• Foster parents must agree to medically treat their foster animal/s should they become ill. This is usually very simple; liquid antibiotics for cats and kittens, pills for dogs, eye drops or salve, once or twice a day.
• We ask foster parents to provide food and litter for their foster animals. At times we may be able to provide these supplies, depending on availability.
• Foster parents must agree to schedule two-week foster checks, free of charge, at our veterinary clinic, so that we can monitor the progress of our animals.
• Our experienced clinic staff will provide foster parents with medical and behavioral support for the duration of the foster period.
• Foster parents must agree to return their foster animal/s to the shelter when they are ready for adoption.
• Foster parents must agree to follow all foster recommendations and abide by the terms of the Foster Agreement.
