Become a foster hero and save a life!

By becoming a foster, you provide a pet in need with a comfortable, loving home, which is such a special part of their future.  This important step is helpful while they await their forever family to come fall in love with them. 

 

Here at Carol’s, our goal is to find loving homes for our homeless pets.  To help further this goal, we will utilize foster homes for our dogs when possible.

 

The purpose of the foster program is to provide a home environment for our pets, while we look for their forever home.  The foster program helps animals that are orphaned, need socialization, or who are having trouble adapting to kennel life.  Whether it is a puppy or an adult dog that needs extra TLC to learn to love and trust again, fosters help make our homeless animals adoptable.

General Information
Fostering a pet is an extremely rewarding and fun experience for the entire family. If you’re looking to make a difference in the life of an animal, but can’t make the commitment to adopt, fostering may be the answer.
Carol’s gives fosters all the training and supplies needed to be a successful foster parent. We provide food and all other supplies required to care for the animal. You just supply the love. By doing so you open a space at our shelter to save another animal.
Foster parents are required to take on the responsibility of daily care of the animal they are fostering. They are expected to: provide their foster pet with food, water, shelter, administer medication when necessary, keep their living area clean, and their foster pet happy and safe.
Foster parents will need to dedicate the time to transport the animal to Carol’s for routine check-ups and vaccinations. Every family member in the household will need to be prepared for the commitment and emotional aspects involved in fostering.
It can be easy to fall in love with any animal, especially one that has depended on you. Please take the time to discuss the way your family will handle seeing an animal that you care for, leaving you to live with their new adoptive family. Always remember, foster parents are the lifesaving “bridge” between shelter life and their happy-ever-after. Why not make a temporary commitment to making a life-long difference?
