Foster Program

Shelter Without Walls      

Become a Foster Parent for HSJC

We are seeking foster parents for the HSJC program, “Shelter Without Walls.” Your willingness to foster an animal could mean the difference between euthanasia and the time needed to find a loving animal a permanent home since we do not have a shelter facility.  One/some of our animals would stay with you while we work to match potential “forever” parents with the animals.   Click Here to Download an Foster Application

Where do the Animals Come From?

The animals come from owners surrendering them or from the local Johnson County Animal Control facility.  All animals are health and temperament checked before being placed in a foster home.

What are the Advantages? What is Expected of Me as a Foster Parent?

You and your family get to spend time with wonderful animals without having to make the permanent commitment and you’ll be helping to place animals in “forever” homes where they will live happy and healthy lives.  You’ll be making a real difference in your community and teaching your children the importance of volunteering.

You must be a responsible, caring pet owner for your foster pet.  You will be required to provide him/her with food, love, attention and perhaps a bit of training.  You will also want to bring him/her to the weekly pet adoption to HSJC Pet Center at 3827 N. Graham Road, Franklin on Thursdays from 5-7 to meet potential “forever” parents.
