London Humane Society Foster Care Program

Our Mission
To provide shelter animals with the individualized attention in an environment different from that of a shelter, and to allow shelter animals to receive every last opportunity at becoming adoptable so that they can enter a forever-home.

Your Responsibility
You will be providing a temporary stay for animals who need it the most. You will provide a comfortable, loving environment in which these animals will be able to realize their true potential. You will be responsible for transporting animals to and from the shelter as well as in the event of an animal emergency. In some cases you may be required to administer medications, in which training will be provided by the Humane Society. *

Qualifications
    18+ years of age
    Time to spend with the animal(s)
    Commitment to helping better that animals’ life
    Access to a vehicle in the event of any animal emergencies
    An Isolated space to separate fostered animals from your own pets
(Please note that your own animals must be up to date with vaccines and spayed or neutered prior to being accepted for the foster program.)

*All food, supplies and medical care are provided by the London Humane Society.

What is Next?
Once the animals are nearing the end of their foster time, they will be booked in for a surgery appointment to be spayed or neutered. Upon being spayed or neutered the animals will return to the shelter where they will be placed up for adoption.

Although it is not our intentions to have foster families adopt the animals they foster they are more than welcome to apply to adopt. The adoption process is not done through the foster program and all potential adopters must follow the adoption process. If you have a mother and kittens/puppies you will return the mother to the shelter once the babies are weaned. Puppies and kittens will be kept in foster care until they are able to be spayed or neutered.
