Join Helping Strays for a pop-up New Foster Orientation at our shelter! This informal session is the perfect opportunity to learn how fostering works, meet some of our adoptable pets, tour the shelter, and get your questions answered by our team.

Fostering saves lives by opening up space in the shelter and giving animals a safe, loving place to stay while they wait for their furever homes. Whether you can foster for a short or long period of time, we have pets who need your help.

At this orientation, you'll learn:
? Why fostering is so important 
? The requirements and responsibilities of being a foster
? How to complete our foster application

No commitment is required—just come learn more and see if fostering is right for you!

We can't wait to meet you and help you make a difference in the life of a homeless pet.

One hour of your time could end up saving an animal's life. Foster homes are urgently needed.
