Each year, La Plata County Humane Society receives hundreds of litters of unwanted puppies and kittens that are too young to be adopted. By fostering homeless pets you provide a safe and loving environment in which they can develop until they are old enough to be adopted. You receive unconditional kitten and/or puppy love and the knowledge that you are saving lives! Fostering is an excellent opportunity to share love and affection with a homeless pet without making a lifetime commitment.

Foster Parent Requirements:

• Be 18 years or older and be willing to provide affection and care to our animals in need.
  
  
• Have all of your pets current on their vaccinations.
  
  
• Have landlord consent (if renting).
  
  
• Have appropriate facilities in which to house animals. (Foster pets must be kept in an isolated area made of water resistant surfaces).
  
  
• Be able to bring foster animals to Humane Society for scheduled appointments.
  
  
• Agree to allow an agent of Humane Society to inspect your foster area once a year (in accordance with PACFA).
  
  
• Understand that all animals remain the property of La Plata County Humane Society and must be returned for medical care and adoption.
  
  
• Understand that despite the best efforts of foster families and Humane Society staff, some animals may still have to be humanely euthanized due to medical or behavioral problems.
