Foster Volunteer

We are currently not accepting new foster volunteers. If you are looking for other ways to help the homeless pets please visit our Volunteer, Donate, and Adopt pages.

Why should you foster a pet? Foster “Parents” provide temporary care for cats, kittens, dogs and puppies in their own homes around the Hampton Roads area. Some animals need as little as two weeks of care, while others may need care for up to three months.

Your volunteer contributions allow HHS to continue to save as many animal lives as possible. We THANK YOU for your compassion and commitment and welcome you to our foster family!

Pets are placed into foster care for many reasons. They may be too young, they may be sick or injured, or they may need socialization or training. HHS also sends pets to foster care to help open up kennel space so more pets can be pulled from area shelters.
