Why Foster?
Fostering for an animal shelter is a rewarding and impactful experience that can transform lives, both of the animals and yourself. By opening your home and heart to a shelter animal, you become their temporary caregiver, providing them with love, care, and stability. Fostering plays a crucial role in saving lives, as it helps alleviate overcrowding in shelters and creates space for more animals in need. It also offers a unique opportunity to evaluate the animal's behavior and personality, which helps shelters match them with their perfect forever homes. Fostering not only offers a chance to make a tangible difference in an animal's life but also provides you with the joy of witnessing their transformation from vulnerable and scared to confident and happy. It is a selfless act of kindness that brings immeasurable fulfillment and creates lasting memories. Consider fostering for an animal shelter today and be a part of the life-changing journey of these precious animals.
Who can Foster?
Anyone! Even if you don’t have previous experience with animals one of our staff members would be happy to sit down with you and talk about your potential fosters needs. It is a great way to get hands on animal care experience and see if owning a pet is right for you! Our staff provides assistance every step of the way so you never have to worry about being in over your head.
While a pet is in foster care the Hill Country SPCA will provide food, bowls, leashes, collars, crates, and additional supplies as needed. We also cover the cost of all necessary medical care when approved by staff and taken to our regular veterinarian.
