Why It Matters

The Benefits Of Fostering

We Match You

We consider your current pets, household, and schedule when making a foster match.

We Cover All Costs

All food, supplies, and vet care provided by HSMC. You provide the love.

No Long Commitment

Fostering can be just a few weeks. Give what you can, when you can.

Option To Adopt

Fall in love with your foster? Approved fosters can adopt their foster pet at any time.

Mental Health Benefits

Research shows animal fostering reduces stress, loneliness, and anxiety.

Try Pet Ownership First

Not sure a dog or cat is right for your life? This is the perfect way to find out.
