Share the love and welcome a Holiday Foster into your home for Thanksgiving!

Planning a low-key holiday and looking for a way to give back? Give one of our shelter pets a break this Thanksgiving by hosting a foster! This is a wonderful opportunity to give a pet the comfort of a home for the holiday week—and who knows, you might just fall in love, or help them find their future family!

To become a Thanksgiving Foster, please CLICK HERE to submit an application. Paper applications are also available at the shelter. Then visit the shelter on Friday, November 22, or Saturday, November 23, to be matched with a pet and bring them home. Pets will return to the shelter on Saturday, November 30—unless, of course, you decide to make them a permanent part of your family!

In past years, this program has led to many happy “foster fails,” and the insights shared by the foster families have helped make ideal matches for pets who return to the shelter for adoption. Whether you’re ready to adopt or just want to offer some holiday cheer, hosting a pet for Thanksgiving makes a meaningful difference in their lives!
