FOSTER CARE

Our foster care program is crucial to the well being of the animals that we have in our care. Foster care providers give our rescued animals a temporary home until a permanent home is found, this can take anywhere from a few days to sadly several months.

Without a foster home, we have no choice but to place these animals in a boarding kennel. This is especially difficult for us as more often than not these animals were confined for a long period of time before we rescued them.  A foster home provides these animals with a warm and loving home. A home where they can at last feel like a valued family member. This transition makes the animal easier to adopt. Animals that are confined to a kennel for a long period of time can be unmanageable.

If you love animals ~ YOU can be a foster care provider! The MHS will provide the food and all of the expenses involved in caring for the animal(s) that you foster. We will ask you a few questions, do a home check, and will match you with the animal that would be suitable for you and your family.

Our foster care providers become quite attached to the animals in their care that sometimes they adopt them themselves.  This is not necessary but we are sure you will find that providing foster care to animals in need is a rewarding experience.
