Foster Care Program Information
Foster Care Volunteers are needed! As a foster parent, you will provide in-home care to animals that need a break from the shelter or group farm environments, are just born and too young to adopt, or require special attention and/or training. We prefer the foster home and family environment to the small animal kennels and group housing for horses.
Volunteers receive animal-care training and supplies. You will have complete control over your time commitment and the animals that get placed in your home. In return, you are helping wonderful BFAS pets become successfully adopted.
Foster Care Volunteers are required to:
· Be eighteen (18) years of age or older
· Have health insurance
· Have a valid driver’s license and transportation
· Attend a volunteer orientation
· Have good communication skills
· Have a room, stall, paddock or area in where foster animal(s) can be kept separate from owned pets as needed.
Remember: fostering saves lives! Foster caregivers provide an invaluable service to our shelter and to the animals fostered!
