OLYMPIC PENINSULA HUMANE SOCIETY

FOSTER CARE

Sometimes the animals that come to the Olympic Peninsula Humane Society have special needs that are best met in a home situation. Some examples include: litters under 8 weeks of age with or without mom, injured animals during their recovery, animals that cannot tolerate the shelter environment (kennel stress), and sometimes we just have too many adoptable animals.
And then there are the big animals, like horses and other farm animals. They might need a place to stay for a couple of days while a fence is mended or they might need medical care and nourishment until they are ready for adoption.

That is where you come in! You provide food, water, shelter and lots of love and attention as if the animal(s) was your own. We provide required medical care. You provide transport to and from the vet and shelter.

And you get to watch the animal grow into its potential and become ready to face the world and live happily ever after with its new family.
