We're on the lookout for foster homes for:
- Pregnant mommas
- Mommas and babies
- Underage babies
- Injured or recovering from surgery animals
- Animals needing a break from the shelter
We cover all the costs for medical, provide supplies, training, and support.
Becoming a foster is a breeze! Just follow these simple steps:
Fill out the foster application on our website: https://www.highlandhumanesociety.org/foster/
You'll receive a confirmation email with instructions links to signing up for the Orientation.
Take the Basic Orientation - virtually, in person, or online.
Fostering cats/kittens: You're ready!
Fostering dogs/puppies: You will also need to complete the dog body language course in person or virtually. This is to help integration of animals go more smoothly and is a requirement of our insurance.
We love getting new volunteers! We want your volunteer time to be fun and meaningful to you. We also want your volunteer time to be safe. We want you to get started on the right foot, learn about who we are and what you'll be doing as a volunteer, and we want to show you where you'll be working when you come to the shelter. We can make all of this happen by scheduling a Volunteer Orientation. Once you've finished orientation, you can get started right away! Thank you for helping us help the animals!
Fill out a volunteer form here on our website under the Forms tab.
