Become a Foster

The foster program is one of the most important aspects of our life-saving impact as it allows us to help animals who are not yet available for adoption, such as underage kittens and puppies, pregnant or nursing mothers with babies, ill or injured animals, or shy/under socialized animals. Will you be a Foster Hero?

Help a Pet in Need

While we do everything we can to make our pets’ stay with us as comfortable as possible, nothing can compare to a loving home environment. Sometimes a pet needs extra recovery time or some time away from the shelter, so we turn to our Foster Heroes. Foster Heroes provide the gentle, consistent support our pets need to feel comfortable and get healthy. By providing a safe space, you are changing their lives and preparing them for a successful adoption.

Last year, our dedicated Foster Heroes opened their hearts and homes to 1,166 animals in need of special care. We couldn’t do the work we do without them.

SafeHaven is taking in new pets all the time, and we need your help to give them a second chance. Sign up today to be the hero for a pet who desperately needs one.
