Foster Care Program
 Each year the San Diego Humane Society cares for almost 1,000 young puppies and kittens who are not old enough for adoption and often require around-the-clock care. These young animals are placed with foster families so that they can receive the extra care and socialization they until they are old enough to be adopted out.
Calling all Warm Hearts and Homes! The San Diego Humane Society is looking for volunteer foster parents to care for litters or young and neonatal kittens and puppies until they are ready to be adopted. The San Diego Humane Society provides all the necessary supplies, equipment, and support that the volunteer will need to care for their foster animals, including food, bowls, bedding, toys, litter, medication and any veterinary services.
Pets that are candidates for our Foster Program include kittens and puppies under eight weeks of age; cats and dogs with litters; animal with minor medical needs; animals recovering from surgery or illness; and animals that have been in the shelter for long periods of time and that would benfit from time spent in a home. Animals that may be having difficulty adapting to a shelter environment are also candidates for the foster program.
