FOSTER HOME INFORMATION

A foster home provides a temporary home for an animal from the shelter. The amount of time for the temporary care can vary from a few days to several months. Being a foster home is like being a grandparent—all the enjoyment of caring for an animal without the lifetime responsibility.   However, a foster must be the type of person who can take home a needy animal, care for it and bond with it, and then be able to let it go to another family.

Please contact Carson City Animal Services (775) 887-2171.

 

HOW DO I BECOME A FOSTER?

Each foster must complete a Foster Application and return it to Animal Services. An interview and home inspection will be performed by Carson City Animal Services Volunteer Coordinator prior to approval of a foster home.
