Foster Volunteers play a crucial role in saving animals' lives. They take animals into their own homes and care for them on a short-term basis until they are ready to enter our adoption program. In spring and summer, Woods Humane Society has many kittens in need of foster care because they are not yet old enough for their spay or neuter surgeries. Throughout the year, adult cats and dogs may also need to be fostered as they receive medical care, socialization to overcome shyness, or behavior modification and training. Woods trains foster volunteers and provides all of the pet care supplies necessary.
