Fosters Homes Needed

We need fosters desperately, especially for cats and kittens!!!  If you have ever wondered how you could help the most, the answer right now is fostering.  By taking an adoptable pet into your home, you open up another safe space for an animal in need.  Fostering expands the capacity of the Humane Society and it allows us to help more animals.  Another huge need is for fostering of pets that have been at our shelter for a long time, it is time they get into a real home!  Ask about pets with seniority at the shelter, they need you!
