What are the requirements for providing a foster home?
- If you have a family pet, it must be current with its vaccinations.
- It is suggested that you have a separate area for your foster pet, to isolate it from your pet(s) until the health and temperament of the foster pet has been determined.
- You must have time each day to socialize the pet, and provide for its care.
- Everyone in your household must be in agreement about fostering and understand that the goal is to find a permanent home for the pet.
- Of course, if you choose to keep the pet, you will be able to proceed with the permanent adoption procedure.
- For weaned pets, you must make the foster pet available for adoption events, usually held on Saturdays, and to potential adopters so that a permanent home can be found.
- You are encouraged to tell your family and friends about your foster pet(s) in an effort to help find an adoptive home. However, ALL adoptions must go through WSAL.
- If there is donated pet food, WSAL will provide it to you. Otherwise, the foster parent will be responsible for the care and feeding of the animal while in their home.
