Foster
Animal Friends Humane Society frequently receives animals that are convalescing or too young for adoption. If these animals were to be kept at the shelter, they would take up valuable space that can be used for other animals. Foster Volunteers care for animals that are in recovery, rehabilitation or maturing in their home until the animals are ready to be adopted.
You can view a real time list of our dogs in need of fostering by visiting our Trello foster page.

Dog Dates Program
We offer a program to volunteers and members of the public called Dog Dates. Dog Dates is short term fostering. The "date" can last an hour, the day, overnight, a weekend, or how ever long you can do! All healthy adoptable dogs are able to go out on a dog date. To take a shelter dog on a date, please stop into the shelter during our operating hours and fill out an application.
