The Humane Society of Stillwater has wonderful foster families that help out for many different reasons. Here are the different kinds of Foster Homes we currently have:
- Serial Short Term: This involves an animal that needs to learn either some manners and/or how to become a proper member of a household.
- Long Term: This involves animals owned by the Humane Society for more than one year.
- Medical Care: This involves animals with medical problems in need of a stress-free environment until the medical problem is alleviated.
- Mothers with Nursing Babies: These animals are kept until the babies are weaned from the mother.
- Bottle-Fed Babies: This involves either puppies or kittens that are still nursing but either don’t have a mother or the mother isn’t able to provide the proper care for them.
- Behavior Problems: This involves an animal that has a behavioral problem anywhere from being scared of human or animal contact to being overly dominant with either people or other animals. This is typically a long foster period.
- Emergency Stand-by Fostering: These are short-term foster homes for Humane Society animals to make room for animals that are set to be euthanized by City Animal Welfare. These foster homes last until the next available space comes open at the shelter.
Another type of Fostering is Holiday Foster Homes. It’s always rewarding to know that our wonderful animals aren’t spending the Holidays in Kennels so we are looking for some families that would like to take an animal home for Thanksgiving or Christmas. If you are interested please stop in the shelter or email us at shelter@hspets.org
