We provide the pet; you provide the love, space, and attention!
Dear Foster Family,
Welcome! You are about to embark on a memorable life-saving adventure! Thank you for opening your home and heart to fostering homeless pets. Our mission at LHS is “Leading the way in providing a compassionate, safe community for animals and people through progressive life-saving programs, services, resources, and education”. Our vision is a community free of homeless and neglected pets. By fostering, you have taken a huge step toward helping us reach these goals! We want your fostering journey to be enjoyable and successful. There will be bumps in the road, but our staff is here to support you in all ways possible. So, let’s get started.
Welcome to our foster community! Please join our Facebook Group: LHS Fosters, to be connected to your new community of fosters. The group was created to support, educate and equip you to be the best foster you can be! Watch the Facebook group for announcements from LHS, postings of pets needing fostering, articles, and resources. We encourage you to get involved both online and at our foster events.
We are excited to have you on board! Please remember, we are here for you.
Sincerely,
LHS Community Pet Team
