Foster to Advertise

Foster families play a vital role at Old Drum Animal Shelter.  Whether it's a litter of puppies/kittens or a single dog--providing a home environment for them to gain more individualized attention, advertising them on social media, and exposing them to potential adopters increases their chance of adoption.

Medical Foster

These soon-to-be pets need a quiet, stress-free environment where they can recuperate from a recent surgery or while undergoing heartworm treatment.

Dog's Day Out

Take a dog out for the day (or portion of a day) away from the shelter without the commitment or housing needed for long-term fostering. These "breaks" help alleviate kennel anxiety and gives the dog(s) exposure to potential adopters and in different environments.  The more people who see our available animals, the higher their chances of finding their forever home!!

Puppies and Kittens

A home setting is the safest place for these little ones.  As soon as they can be spayed or neutered, we bring them back into the shelter for adoption.  Many foster families help us find loving homes for the puppies and kittens.

Foster to Adopt

Fosters to Adopt allows potential adopters to bring home a cat or dog on a short-term trial basis. This can be helpful in seeing how the pet fits into your current environment.  See whether it adapts well to children, lively dogs, snarky cats or a busy lifestyle!

Old Drum Animal Shelter has a constant demand for foster families. Fostering an Old Drum shelter animal is not only a benefit for our many cats, dogs, and other residents, but also for you!
