Ways to HelpVolunteer or FosterLearn how you can help! More information will be posted here shortly. Foster Application
On the fence about adopting? Do you see a dog or cat you would love to take home but not sure if it’s the perfect match for you? What if we told you we have a new program called FOSTER FIRST where you can sign up to foster that pet first and if it works out, you can adopt it? Under our FOSTER FIRST program, pets are placed in foster homes to help them grow, get socialized and thrive. You can help puppies and kittens grow; mothers care for their young; and pets who need a bit more TLC before finding their new families. Fostering is an important role because you are saving lives and helping prepare homeless animals for their new families! Frequently asked Foster Program questions:How long do animals need to stay in foster care?The typical foster stay is two weeks to two months, depending on the needs of the individual animal(s) in your care. The time frame of each foster situation will be discussed with you ahead of time. Can I become a foster volunteer if I have pets of my own?Yes, we welcome pet owners as fosters. With some fosters, specifically puppies, kittens and nursing mothers, we recommend keeping shelter animals separate from your pets. This helps prevent stress and the spread of illness. The risk of spreading illness is greatly reduced if your animals are current on their annual vaccines. What costs are involved in foster care?Atascosa Animal Allies provides all medical care and all supplies such as food, crate, kitty litter and toys. Foster families provide housing and a safe place to stay. They also provide exercise, socialization, and lots of love!
