Foster a Pet
Fostering saves lives: be a hero to a homeless pet
Shelters are scary, loving homes are not.
When you provide a foster home to an animal, you are part of a lifesaving team working to create a bright, healthy and safe future for homeless dogs and cats in Monterey County.
By fostering, you’re helping to save even more lives by freeing up space in shelters for additional animals. So, what are you waiting for? Snuggles, silliness, fun, and friendship await!
Indeed, fostering is an easy, direct, and short-term way to make a lifetime of difference. It simply means temporarily opening your home to pets in need and giving them love and care while they wait to be adopted. Animal Friends Rescue Project can provide everything you need, including food, supplies, support, and medical care.
