Fostering

Fostering an Animal

Ever thought about fostering for Baytown Animal Services? 

Whether you have a full house or a flexible schedule, we have foster opportunities to match every lifestyle and level of commitment:

  • Short-Term Fostering: Only have a few days or hours to spare? No problem! It's a small commitment that makes a big impact.
  • Long-Term Fostering: Provide a home for dogs or cats that need time away from the shelter to blossom before adoption.
  • Bottle Baby Fostering: Care for the tiniest, most vulnerable of our shelter - orphaned kittens and puppies
  • Mom and Baby Fostering: Want all of the cute with less of the mess? Foster a mama cat (or dog!) with their litter - let mom handle most of the work, while you enjoy watching her babies grow.
  • Behavioral Fostering: Work with pets who need a little extra help learning to trust, socialize, or learn some basic manners to help prepare for adoption.
  • Medical Fostering: Help a pet bounce back from illness, or injury by giving them a cozy spot to heal and feel safe.

Every foster home saves lives – email the Foster Team and discover how you can be a hero to an animal in need.
