Having foster homes allows us to take in litters of puppies and kittens that might otherwise be turned away. All that is required is that you enjoy caring for little ones, love them and keep them safe. Puppies and kittens usually are kept for two weeks and we provide necessary crates, food, litter and medications (if needed). You can foster just one or a whole litter. We also have adult pets that may need fostering because they aren’t adjusting well to shelter life. Sometimes, they need off-site loving families to help them through the transition

The very real difference between your foster pet and your other pets is that fostering is temporary. For some new foster parents, there is unexpected sorrow in saying goodbye to a pet for which they have provided love and care.  You can take comfort in knowing that you have made it possible for the pet and its new family to begin building their own permanent, loving bonds. And you'll now have room in your heart and home for another pet in need of your generosity.

If you're ready to help Humane Society of Charlotte as a foster parent, please fill out our Foster Parent Application and fax it back to us at (704)-332-8010.
