Don't wait! Join our team of fosters today! To help ensure a great fostering experience, we need to know more about you.

Why Foster?

Off the Streets
By becoming a foster family you allow Houston Cares to save other animals still on the streets hoping for a better life.

Saving Multiple Lives
Taking an animal off the streets into a foster home instead of surrendering to a shelter means one less animal on the shelter euthanasia list.

End the Cycle
Getting an unneutered/unspayed animal off of the streets means helping to end the cycle of unwanted puppies and kittens.

Lots of Love
Not only does fostering save lives, foster animals often bring lots of love and fun into their temporary homes.

Community
Houston Cares' fosters are a robust community of animal lovers who support each other by sharing fostering tips and assistance as needed.
