What is fostering?

Our heroic and selfless fosters are the life blood of Eleventh Hour Rescue. Fostering is providing a temporary home for a rescue pet awaiting adoption. All rescue animals greatly benefit from a foster home, but those in most need of fostering are:

• Those suffering from "kennel stress" in need of a calming home environment
• Scared or timid animals who shut down in a kennel environment
• Older or senior animals who will be more comfortable in a home environment
• Puppies and kittens who require some structure and more socialization than available at the kennel
• Neglected or abused dogs that need tender loving care
• Dogs/cats recovering from surgery or a medical procedure
• Animals with special needs
• Abandoned mothers with litters
• Animals that need to be the only-pet in the home

In a loving foster home, every pet can get the individual attention needed to find a forever family. By opening your heart and home to one of Eleventh Hour Rescue’s homeless pets, you can be confident you’ve helped save a pet's life. Even better, you’ve created space to save another abandoned or abused pet.

What do foster families need to provide?

Foster families should be compassionate, caring and patient and provide their foster pets with:

• A healthy and safe indoor environment for their foster pet
• Transportation to and from the Eleventh Hour Rescue Adoption Centers and veterinarians if needed. Eleventh Hour Rescue manages and covers the cost of all veterinary care.
• Socialization and time to help teach pets positive family and pet relationships.
• Exercise and positive stimulation to help them develop into great pets.
• Quality food. While it’s appreciated if fosters can provide food, Eleventh Hour Rescue can assist if necessary.
• Attend public adoption events with your foster pet whenever possible and provide current photos to our adoption team to help promote the animal on our website

How long do pets need to be in foster care?

Every situation is different.  Foster commitments range from just a couple of days to several months.  Eleventh Hour Rescue's Foster Team will assist you in choosing a foster pet that best fits your lifestyle.
