FOSTER HOMES

What Do Foster Homes Do?
Foster homes provide animals with temporary care and shelter until they are adopted. Foster homes are asked to provide foster animals with plenty of love, adequate food and water, shelter, and exercise. In addition to providing the basics, foster homes may also be asked to transport animals to veterinary appointments and adoption events. Depending on individual situation, foster homes will likely be reimbursed for supplies, such as food, litter and toys and for any veterinary costs incurred in the care of the animal.

What Are The Requirements For Becoming A Foster Home?
We are always looking for more foster homes. The only requirements are that a person love animals and have the time and resources to provide a foster animal with adequate care. Other requirements will vary depending upon the specific needs of a given foster animal. Some animals, for example, will need fenced yards, extra time commitments (as is the case with orphaned newborns), isolation from personal pets, etc. Perspective Foster Homes are required to fill out a Foster Care Application.

How Long Do Animals Spend In Foster Care?
The time an animal needs to spend in foster care ranges anywhere from one night to several months. Any time commitment a foster home can make is desperately needed and appreciated.

How Do Foster Animals Find Permanent Adoptive Homes?
The Hanna S.P.C.A takes full responsibility for finding permanent adoptive homes for foster animals. Foster homes are encouraged to let people know that that their foster animals are available for adoption, but any person interested in adopting an animal needs to contact the Hanna S.P.C.A to complete the adoption application procedure.
