Fayette Humane Society Foster Program

04/19/2018

We are lucky to have many wonderful animal loving people to be a part of our foster care program. These individuals open their hearts and homes to animals waiting for their family. Foster parents are very important to our life-saving mission.

Would you like to open up your heart and home to a precious dog, puppy, cat, or kitten? We will provide all their needs such as their food, litter, vaccines, and medical care (if ill).

We only ask that you provide a roof over their furry little heads and most importantly, love. Please call us at 740-335-8126.

Find Kittens? Don't Panic!
*Mom is probably hunting for food or a safer nest.
*Watch the kittens for a few hours from afar to see if mom returns.
*Kittens are unlikely to survive if brought to the shelter without mom.

DOG AND PUPPY FOSTERS NEEDED
Did you know that the only way we can help dogs and puppies is if we have foster homes for them to go to? That's right. In our current building we are not able to house dogs and puppies. Our only option to help them find homes is to rely on foster homes.
When you foster with us you just provide the shelter, daily care, and love. We provide everything else from food to medical care. All of our dogs and puppies are neutered/spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines, rabies (if old enough), dewormed, heartworm tested (if old enough) and treated for fleas.

Please consider becoming a foster family today!
