Foster Program

 

"It is only through your willingness

to open your hearts and your homes, that we are able to give an animal

a second chance in life. "

 

 

The Montgomery County Humane Society has an outstanding Foster Program that is responsible for hundreds of additional animals being adopted each year from the Montgomery County Animal Shelter.

But we couldn't do it alone.  MCHS depends on kind and caring people who are willing to share their busy lives and are willing to temporarily open their hearts and homes to our homeless animals.  It is only through their generosity that we are able to find loving homes and give a foster animal a second chance in life.

If you would like to know more about how the Foster Program works, the following should answer some of your questions.

• You provide a temporary, loving home along with food, litter and other supplies.
• You choose the type of animal you would like to foster.
• You are invited to attend MCHS adoption events.
• MCHS pays for basic shots and for the foster's spay/neuter.
• MCHS will put your foster pet's photo on our website.
• MCHS will reimburse you for advertising in the newspaper.

Foster homes are needed for all types of animals from dogs and cats to rabbits, guinea pigs, other small mammals, birds and reptiles.  If you have questions about the Foster Program, or would like to become a Foster volunteer, please call 240.453-9404 or email fostermau@mchumane.org

Someone from the Foster Program will contact you, and we will be with you every step of the way.

We'll answer your questions.
• We'll offer advice.
• We'll give you encouragement.

Join us and find out how rewarding it is to be a foster "parent".
