Expectations and responsibilities for foster families:

 

• We provide any and all supplies needed for your foster animals. 

• We provide all medical care for foster animals. Foster animals are required to have updated vaccinations every two weeks. Vaccination appointments are scheduled with our medical team and appointments are flexible, ranging from Tuesdays - Sundays. 

• We provide after hour emergency care if needed to our foster families, you are never facing an emergency alone!

• All foster animals are required to have a strict two week quarantine period from resident animals. This is to ensure your resident animals do not get sick in case your foster animal is infectious at this time. 

• Communication is key! We keep in direct contact with our foster families to ensure foster animals are on the right track to adoption.
