Foster Program
We Need Your Help, Fostering Save Lives!
You are one of the most valuable assets a shelter can have. We are always looking for volunteers to open up their homes and hearts and foster an animal in need.
Become a member of our dedicated foster team of volunteers and help HSIMC save more lives!
Fostering means you are helping animals in need, to give them the best possible outcome, all in the comfort of your own home.
No foster experience necessary, we give you the information, guidance and support you need.
Opportunities include bottle babies, kittens, puppies, adult dogs and cats as well as special needs animals. We would love to have you on our foster team!
