HIGHLAND HUMANE SOCIETY
Fostering a pet from The Highland Humane Society is a rewarding experience that makes a huge difference in the lives of animals waiting for their forever homes. By becoming a foster caregiver, you provide a temporary, loving environment for pets in need, helping them become more adoptable by giving them care, love, and a chance to adapt to a home setting.

Why Foster?

 

Fostering is not just about helping pets; it's about making a difference in the community. You'll play a crucial role in an animal's life, offering them a second chance while freeing up space at our shelter for other animals in need.
