FOSTERING SAVES LIVES

WHY FOSTER?

QUITE SIMPLY    -  FOSTERING SAVES LIVES.

 

The Central PA Humane Society relies heavily on foster homes to help them care for the thousands of animals that come into the shelter each year.

​

One of the hardships a no kill shelter like CPHS face is lack of space to house animals.  Spring and summer is particularly tough during 'kitten season" when hundreds of unwanted kittens are being born.  

​

CPHS also utilizes foster homes for stressed animals who are not handling the shelter environment well and are in need of 'time out' in a home.

​

If you can open your heart and your home to an animal in need then please complete and send in your foster application.
