Not Ready to Adopt? Become a Foster Hero!
Maybe you're not ready for a lifelong commitment—but you can still save a life! 🐾
Tiny kittens and puppies sometimes arrive at our shelter without their mothers and need round-the-clock care—something we just can’t provide in-house. That’s where foster homes make all the difference! These babies only need a temporary place to stay until they’re about 8 weeks old and ready for adoption after spay/neuter and vaccines.
We also have “special needs” pets who need a calm space to recover from surgery, heartworm treatment, or just some extra time and love to adjust to life outside the shelter. Fosters for these pets may be asked to help share their stories or attend adoption events—but don’t worry, we’ll walk you through everything.
We provide the food, supplies, and vet care—you provide the love, comfort, and a safe space.
If you're interested, please reach out to see which pets are currently in need of a foster home. All fosters must complete an application and be approved before bringing a pet home. You can email your completed form to wchsadopt@gmail.com or apply directly from an animal’s profile on our site.
Fostering saves lives—and you could be the reason a pet gets their second chance.
