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.

​
