BCHS Foster Program
Our foster program is designed to move animals into the community as a way of providing more time for the animal to get adopted into a permanent home. While most animals are adopted out of the kennels, others need extra attention to get adopted. That is where the foster program comes in.
Our foster parent program is made up of community volunteers who take animals into their homes, give them care and help them find their "furever homes."
If you are interested in becoming a foster parent please fill out a Foster Care Application and bring or mail it to the shelter.
Qualifications
Cat/Kitten fosters are always in demand. In order to foster cats, you must be able to separate them from your own animals for several days, until they are more secure with their surroundings. Mothers and kittens must always have separate living quarters to give momma cat a secure place to take care of her young. Most foster parents use a spare bathroom or utility area for the family. Cats must stay indoors at all times, where it is safe and secure until they are adopted.
Dog fosters require you to have a fenced yard, adequate for the size dog you want to foster. And you need to be able to offer a place in the house to the foster dog. All your own pets need to be spayed or neutered and up-to-date on their shots. And you must be 21 years of age or older. We don't often have a need for foster homes for small dogs. They tend to get adopted so quickly from the shelter that we never have an issue with a small dog running out of time.
