Are your children asking for a puppy but you don’t know if they’re mature enough yet to handle one? Do you have a dog that would appreciate a roommate for a little while? Do you want to make the difference in a dog being adoptable or not? We will train you how to train them, supply food, and 24-hour telephone support. All dogs will be temperament-tested and fully vetted prior to going to foster homes. foster If you already plan on taking a walk, why not take a furry companion? Stock photo. Special needs homes Sometimes we have kittens, cats, puppies, or dogs that are born or come to us with special needs. These can include medical needs such as requiring a quiet place to recover from heartworm, behavioral needs such as a dog or cat that’s terrified of everything, or a physical disability that makes it difficult for a cat or dog to do well in a shelter. If you choose to make a difference for a special animal, we will provide all the support you could need. Behavior plans written by a certified animal behaviorist, 24-hour phone support, all vet bills paid, crates, food, toys… whatever the animal needs, you will have in addition to the bonus of knowing you made this cat or dog’s life worth living! Rent-a-Rover Do you like to walk or run and wish you had a canine companion? Going for a ride to get ice cream and want to make a shelter dog’s day? Want a pet for a weekend sleepover? Our rent-a-rover program is for you! If you’re interested in any of these programs, we do require a very short application and class prior to animals leaving the shelter.
