Animal Fostering

Who We Are

We are committed to compassionate care for all pets via robust adoption, foster, volunteer and donation programs. We are dedicated to resident safety via education and services that aim to reduce the stray pet population, minimize the threat of diseases and prevent animal-related injuries. 

What We Do

Become a foster hero!

Foster caregivers help us save lives of pets recovering from illness or injury, orphaned kittens and puppies, and many other animals that may thrive better in a home environment than in the shelter. Most pets at FWACC that are available for adoption are also available for foster, and we welcome fosters who can take pets into their homes for any length of time. Foster parents help increase the adoptability of these shelter animals by providing care and a foster home during this time of transition from the shelter to an adopter’s home.  As a foster parent, you are a volunteer and helping us save lives of shelter pets in need. Whether you are able to only commit to just an afternoon out or a longer opportunity, we have a variety of ways for you to get involved. 

What does the shelter provide?

  • WE provide all vaccinations, spay/neuter services, microchip and in-shelter vet care for your foster pet. Food, treats and other basic supplies (beds, crates, leash, etc.) will be supplied to you, depending on availability (these are donation based).
  • YOU provide the basics – your home, exercise, space, socialization and love.
