FOSTER PARENTS NEEDED

Do you have the time and space to provide temporary homes for animals until permanent loving homes are found? If so, you are needed to help care for kittens, puppies, dogs and cats. These include healthy, sick or injured animals; as well as those that would otherwise be euthanized at the shelter due to limited capacity.

Foster parents become familiar with the unique personality of their foster animal, and can provide information that can be valuable in placing the foster in their perfect 'forever home'. What could be more rewarding than to help create a “happy ever after” ending?

Foster homes need only provide food, shelter and love. All vetting is provided by the Cherokee County Humane Society. It's best if you live in Cherokee, Cobb, Bartow, Gilmer, etc. but we will work with you if you will work with us!

Please email Caroline at wittle13@yahoo.com if you are interested in becoming a foster home.
