Our care strategy does not require emergency foster homes right now. We are continuing to add foster families that are able to commit as ongoing foster families (beyond the COVID-19 outbreak). We will continue to accept applications for foster families that are prepared to foster in this way.

Why Foster? 

Many animals at HEA need extra love and care on their way to finding their forever family. A home environment and one-on-one attention can make all the difference in helping these pets get adopted. Animals who benefit from fostering include:

• Puppies or kittens too young to be adopted
• Adult cats that just need a little time to come out of their shell
• Young dogs that will benefit from socialization
• Senior dogs and cats that will be more comfortable in a home environment
• Neglected or abused dogs and cats that need extra tender loving care

Simply stated, placing an animal with a foster family allows us all to save more lives.

​
