Foster dog or cat parents and homes are a dire need for us to be able to save as many lives as possible from being humanely euthanized at the shelter… for space, a simple cough, or not getting any time out of their confined kennel. When you can’t adopt but are able and willing to open your heart and home for a pet in dire need please feel welcome and invited to enjoy this special journey with the dogs currently in our Orange County shelters. OC Shelter Pets is always searching for more loving and responsible foster homes that share a similar passion for helping animals in need within our community.
To apply for fostering, please download our Foster Application using the link below and complete the application at your convenience, send it with video or photos of your yard, perimeter on fencing and gates and with photos where the animal would sleep or spend time when you are gone to: info@ocshelterpets.com. Please note ONLY completed applications with video or photos can be reviewed. All completed applications are handled first come first serve when approved.
We Get Them Out Of Here
And Help Them Out Here
To Help Them Get Here
Our focus is on animals who have spent a significant amount time in our Orange County shelters, or will be euthanized if no one steps up and pitches in. We believe very wholeheartedly in the value of foster homes. We want all of the animals currently at our local shelters to spend some time recovering and blossoming in one of our valuable foster homes before moving on to a well matched forever family. We make every effort to place an animal with a foster family who is a good fit for your household and lifestyle. We will search for a deserving adopter for your foster pet, and we invite you to be as involved in that process as you wish to be.
