Field Trips

Heading out for a walk? Bring one of our dogs with you! Field Trips help our pups get some time out of their kennels and help them decompress. This type of fostering is a brief day trip, typically lasts a couple of hours.

Kitten & Puppy Foster

Foster Caregivers provide a safe, clean environment to weaned kittens and puppies who are too young to be housed in the building. This type of fostering can last between 1 and 4+ weeks.

Short-Term or Foster Advocates

Some cats and dogs just need a break from the kennels due to stress or illness, and this is exactly what these Foster Caregivers provide! This type of fostering can last up to 3 weeks.

Bottle Baby Foster

Safe Pet Foster

Safe Pet Foster Caregivers house animals whose families have been displaced due to domestic violence, homelessness, hospitalization, and natural disasters. Contracts can last between 30-90+ days.

Flourish Foster & Medical Foster

Foster Caregivers help these dogs and cats with more advanced medical or behavioral needs with the help of our Behavior Team. Transport to and from external vet clinics or training centers may be necessary.

Foster Feature - Brownie
Meet Brownie – The Sweetest Treat You’ll Ever Meet!
Just like the classic dessert he’s named after, Brownie needs a moment to warm up before becoming the most heart-melting treat! Once this handsome boy feels at home, he’s all tail wags and gentle eyes. Brownie is a big fan of daily strolls and has had positive interactions with dogs and cats! Here’s what his foster has to say:
“He loves getting petted and has the most sweet and somber face”
