FOSTER
CARE VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Thank you so much
for your interest in the Foster Care Program. Fostering is a wonderful
opportunity to help animals. The information below can help you decide
which part you can play in saving animals' lives. You must first become
a Adult PHS volunteer by attending an
information meeting, then our Volunteer Orientation. Depending on your
experience you may also be asked to complete Kennel Training, Animal Handling
Training, and Foster Care Training.
Make sure to ask
for your Foster Care Application at the Volunteer Orientation!
Here is some of
what Foster Care volunteers agree to do:
- care for orphaned,
sick, or injured animals
(MOST OFTEN FOSTERS NEEDED: ORPHANED KITTENS AGED 4-7 WEEKS)
- be well prepared
at home and responsible pet owners
- report regularly
to staff regarding health & behavior of foster animals
- follow instructions
and directions from staff regarding foster animals
- take their
foster assignments seriously
- if you rent
where you live, provide a statement from your landlord that you have
permission to foster the type and number of animals you request
- provide proof
of vet records for your own cats, dogs & rabbits to show they are
up-to-date on vaccinations and spayed and neutered
- understand
that they may not adopt their foster animal themselves or place in another
home without written permission from the PHS Foster Care Coordinator
