Foster FAQ's
If you have a question that isn't answered, be sure to Contact Us!
How long am I expected to foster?
Length of stay varies by pet, depending on how socialized they may be, health status, behavior training, and interest from potential adopters. We expect our foster homes to care for the pet until they are adopted.
What do I have to pay for as a foster?
Nothing, unless you want to spoil them a little more! Paws for Life provides all medical care and pet supplies.

What if my foster needs to go to the vet?
Our medical coordinators will schedule routine appointments for vaccines and spay/nueter surgery. They will coordinate with your schedule and choose the closest partnered vetrinary practice to you, when possible.
Can I adopt my foster pet?
YES!! As a volunteer/ foster parent you have the first right to adopt. Contact your foster care coordinator as soon as you come to that decision.
What if my foster pet isn't working out?
Contact your foster care coordinator immediately to report any and all safety or health concerns regarding your foster. We will work with you to resolve the issues, or move the foster to a different home as soon as possible.
