Every pet in our program already has someone who loves them. Their person is fighting to keep them, even in the hardest moments of their life. These pets aren’t looking for a new home — they’re simply looking for a safe place to land while their owner stabilizes their life.
In those moments, you become the bridge that keeps a family together.
Temporary fostering with us is unique:
Your home becomes a lifeline — a place where healing and stability can begin.
Fostering can be emotional. It can be challenging. But it is also one of the most meaningful acts of compassion you can offer.
You’re not saying goodbye to a pet you’ve grown attached to — you’re helping them return to the person who misses them every single day.
And when reunification day comes, you have the option to be part of that moment. It’s emotional. It’s healing. It’s unforgettable.
Reunification is a powerful experience. A pet running back into the arms of the person who loves them… An owner overwhelmed with gratitude… A family made whole again because of you.
This is why we foster. This is why it matters. This is why your role is so important.
Open your home temporarily. Change two lives permanently.
When you foster with PAWS-n-PURRsist, you're not helping a pet find a new family — you're helping them stay connected to the family they already have.
What We Ask of Our Fosters
You provide the safe, loving home. We provide the support.
Fosters help provide daily care, love, structure, and a safe place for a pet while their person works toward stability. PAWS-n-PURRsist remains involved throughout the placement to provide guidance, coordinate with the pet's owner, and help address the needs of the animal.
You are never taking someone's pet away. You are helping protect their bond until they can be together again.
"It's never goodbye, it's always I will see you soon!"
