The Foster Care Program is made up of compassionate volunteers committed to offering animals a temporary home and a big dose of love.
Foster Testimonial
"I started fostering because my boyfriend would not let me adopt 20 dogs like I wanted to! Fostering is the next best thing and now I get to meet and fall in love with so many amazing dogs.
Getting the opportunity to learn each one's unique personality, providing them with comfort and endless kisses, and then helping connect them to their forever best friend has brought me so much, I can't thank every single person at Haven enough for that!!!" - Karen, Haven dog foster
Why are Pets Fostered?
Many animals arrive at Haven Humane Society with potential, but they may not be ready for adoption. These animals need the time, love, and learning environment only a foster parent can provide.
Cats and dogs who can not be adopted because they are too young, underweight or sick, or need socialization and training are all candidates for the Foster Care Program.
What is Fostering Like?
Foster parents are official Haven volunteers, which means we'll provide any necessary food and supplies for your foster.
You'll also have the support of our staff Animal Behaviorist to assist with training and the Haven Humane Veterinary Hospital for all your foster's medical needs.

Kitten Fostering
Empower
Growth
With the addition of our Kitten Nursery in 2018, more kittens survive into the toddler phase where they now need foster homes to grow and play.
Foster parents new to kitten fostering will be provided with training on kitten care, and Haven can even put you in touch with an experienced foster parent who can provide you with tips and advice whenever you have questions or concerns. We will also provide food (or formula for kittens) and other supplies if needed (bottles, crates, bowls, some blankets, etc).
Planning a summer vacation out of town? No problem. Haven can place your kittens into temporary foster care until you return.
