Foster a Pet in Need
Not every foster program is about finding pets new homes. At C.A.R.E.4Paws, ours is about helping pets return to the families they already have.
We’re looking for loving foster families to provide temporary homes for dogs and cats whose people are escaping domestic violence, recovering from a medical emergency, navigating housing challenges or facing another life crisis.
A foster home gives pets the love, stability and routine pets need while their people focus on finding safety, recovering from illness or rebuilding their lives. By opening your home temporarily, you help prevent pets from entering already overcrowded shelters and rescue organizations and give families the chance to reunite when they’re ready.
Most foster placements last one to three months, depending on each family’s circumstances and progress toward stability. C.A.R.E.4Paws provides supplies, veterinary care and ongoing support throughout all placements, which are confidential to protect everyone’s privacy.
For volunteer Courtney Radis, a recent foster experience proved more meaningful than she ever expected. “Temporary fostering was a tangible way for my family to help someone outside of ourselves,” Radis says. “Getting to spend time with the best cats in the whole world until they could be reunited with their owner was even more beautiful than we could have imagined. Knowing she was able to hold and hug them again after finding stability will stay with us forever.”
