Foster volunteers
save lives!
Foster volunteers open their hearts and homes to animals in need.
They provide temporary care and comfort to cats, dogs, kittens, and puppies in their Osceola County homes.
Animals must be fostered due to any of the following circumstances. The first three are the most common. Please let us know if you have the skills needed to foster a special needs animal.
- The animal is too small for adoption.
- The animal is recovering from a procedure.
- The animal needs to be socialized.
- The animal needs to be bottle fed.
- The animal is displaying behavior issues.
- Other assorted reasons.
Fosters willing to bottle feed kittens needed desperately.
