Thank you for your inteRest in Fostering!
When you provide a foster home to animal from PCHS, you create a bright, healthy, and safe future for homeless dogs and cats.
At PCHS our goal is provide animals shelter while we find their new homes and fostering is an integral part of helping animals. But, a shelter can be a noisy and stressful place especially for shy or frightened animals. By providing a loving, quiet place for pets to learn and grow, you're helping alleviate stressful situations for animals.
Even though we take in hundreds of animals each year, there are times where we have to turn people away due to not having enough room in the shelter. When you foster a pet, you're helping to save even more lives by freeing up space in the shelter for even more animals.
Flexible Fostering and Training Provided
We offer flexible fostering: become a foster for the summer, a weekend, the whole year! While it is helpful for us to have fosters with open availability, we get that not everyone has that capability. Anytime an animal gets out of the shelter, it's a win for us!
We also offer training with an online orientation and First Time Foster Appointment. You will be provided with fostering manuals, marketing manuals, access to our Fostering Facebook group, and our staff and fostering committee to help you with anything you may need.
How it works
- Step one is filling out our foster application and email resident pet's vaccination records to pchsmnstaff@gmail.com. Once reviewed you will get an email.
- If approved, you will get an email with a link to our online orientation, appointment link to set-up your first time foster appointment
It's that easy!
The foster parent may be required to bring the animal back to the shelter periodically for check-ups, vetting appointments, and most importantly, adoption appointments. We will work with your schedule to set up these appointments.
PCHS will provide the foster family with the material needed to foster (food, bowls, litter, blankets, toys, leashes, etc.). While the animal is in the foster program, PCHS will be responsible for all of the animal's medical treatment (including medications and vaccinations). In otherwords, you supply the love, we fund their needs.
