BECOME A FOSTER FAMILY

The mission of the LASCC Foster Care Program is to give our shelter animals the individualized care and socialization they need to prepare them for adoption or rescue.  Information gathered during the foster process helps us place animals in homes with families who can best meet their needs.  Specific goals of the program include:

Bottle Feeders
A group of specialized foster parents that are experienced with orphaned puppies or kittens.  This foster will take a litter that comes into the shelter without a mother.  LASCC will provide milk replacement and infant pet bottles along with a starter kit.  Animals will need to be fed every 3 hours around the clock until weaning age.  Most bottle feeder fosters will keep their foster animals until adoption ready.  This is the most time consuming foster group and is great for retired individuals.

Short-Term Fosters
A group of foster families willing to open their home and hearts to an animal that has been chosen for transport.  These animals have a rescue willing to take them into another state to be put up for adoption.  Short Term fosters usually foster an animal between 2 weeks-4 weeks.  The animal will gain socialization skills, health, and love during this time which is valuable to creating a more adoptable pet!
