Our Foster Care Program asks community members to open their doors to our animals who need some TLC outside of the shelter. Fostering is one of the most important ways you can help the animals of Cabot Animal Support Services. The shelter is a stressful place so foster homes are invaluable when it comes to identifying a dog or cat’s true personality! Foster homes are the stepping stone to helping shelter pets find their forever home.
We believe that every animal that enters our shelter deserves to have the best possible chance at finding a loving, permanent home. A foster parent has one of the most important jobs at the shelter. Foster parents allow our animals to receive the proper care and attention they deserve as they wait for adoption. As a foster parent you’ll not only save the lives of animals in your care, but you’ll give other animals coming into the shelter who may not need the same level of medical attention, a space on our adoption floor to find their own loving homes. If those aren’t enough reasons to become a foster parent, consider these:
We love our fosters! Any individual, family, or business with the compassion and willingness to help animals-in-need can serve as a foster parent. You don’t need to have previous animal experience to become a foster, just a love of animals and a willingness to learn. We do, however, have just a few requirements.
If you would like to foster for CASS, please fill out our online Foster Hero Form.
