Help us save local animals by Fostering a Pet
Overview
Are you ready to embark on a life-changing journey by becoming a foster parent with the Northern Oklahoma Humane Society?
​
As a volunteer foster parent, you will play a crucial role in the rehabilitation of animals by providing in-home care. The goal of our Foster Parent Volunteer program is to assist animals outside of the shelter environment who are underage, sick, injured, or under-socialized, helping them become healthy and adoptable.
​
Foster parents provide a clean, safe, and loving environment for these animals in their homes. Our mission is to care for as many pets as possible, making them available for adoption. Thanks to our dedicated volunteers, we save thousands of lives every year. Join us in making a difference in the lives of these animals.
How Does it Work?
We will provide the standard medical care and spay/neuter of the pet and a large bag of dry food, while you and your family provide love, exercise, and socialization. While you are preparing your foster pet for adoption, our team is working with you to post the pet's photo, personality description and any special needs on our website and Petfinder.com, to assist you, and to plan the pet's attendance at our scheduled adoption events, where potential adopters can meet pets in foster care.
​
In order to take in nursing puppies or kittens, we often need a foster home for them to stay in while they are growing. We provide food, puppy or kitten milk, feeding supplies, and all other necessities.
​
You can help with the adoption by sharing information about the pet in your community or at your place of work. If you are interested in partnering with us in this service, please complete the Foster Volunteer Application Below.
Foster parents ease the homeless pet's grief and anxiety in the transition to a new home. Foster parents are always needed for cats, kittens, bottle babies, all size dogs, and puppies. Our greatest need is for foster parents!
