Fostering

A volunteer foster parent helps the Valley Center Animal League by providing in home care of the animals that we take into our care. The goal of the Foster Parent Volunteer is to help animals stay out of shelters and the pound by staying in their homes until we can find a home for them. Foster parents provide a clean, safe, loving environment for the animals in their homes. Our goal is to care for as many pets as possible in order to make them available for adoption.
