Foster Homes Save Lives!
On any given day, LKNH receives dozens of intake requests for animals in need. The number of requests far exceed our in house capacity for care. Loving foster homes allow us to provide care for many more vulnerable animals from our community and save more lives. There are many reasons an animal may require foster, whether it be for medical treatment, a quiet place to decompress outside of the shelter, or to give our youngest kittens and puppies a chance to grow and gain strength before they are ready for adoption.
Whatever the case may be, LKNH will provide you with all necessary supplies and guidance, and in return we ask that you supply love, TLC, and a quiet space in your home where you can keep fosters separate from resident animals.
If you love animals and want to make a difference, join us at LKNH as an Animal Foster Caregiver. Opening your home to an animal in need can be a truly amazing and rewarding experience as you enrich the lives of animals on their path to a new beggining. Foster homes are critical to our lifesaving mission.
We ask all of prospective fosters to complete an Online Foster Application below and you will be contacted by a team member with more information.
Below are just a few of the types of cases where foster homes are needed :
Sick or injured animals and animals with special medical needs
Bottle Babies (Kittens/Puppies)
Pregnant or nursing moms and litters
Shy or undersocialzed animals that are too stressed in a shelter environment
Long term residents that need a break from the shelter environment
