Open your heart by opening your home! Become a foster parent today!

Looking for a fun and simple way to give back to your animal welfare community all from the comfort of your own home? We know of just the perfect way you can help- become a foster parent for one of the Maddie's Pet Rescue Partners.

So what exactly is fostering? Basically, it is volunteering to bring an animal into your home for a specific amount of time to give the animal the love and attention it needs. The reasons some dogs and cats need a foster home will vary but a couple of the common reasons are needing a break from shelter life, needing time to recover from surgery, or simply needing time to grow until they are old enough to be placed up for adoption.

For more information about fostering, take a look at our Foster Paws Newsletter. This newsletter will give you the ins and outs about becoming a foster parent.

If you still have questions or would like to talk a Maddie's Projects staff member about fostering, please contact us.
