Donate Time - Foster

dog looking out windowThank you for opening up your heart and home. Being a foster family is a rewarding experience and it saves lives. There is limited space at the Beaufort County Animal Shelter and when the cages are full and no foster families available --tough decisions have to be made. One of the advantages of fostering is that it is not a permanent commitment. You can nurture a dog or cat in the fall and still go on that vacation in the spring.  We need Foster families to care for :

  • orphaned puppies/kittens too young for adoption,
  • pregnant/nursing mothers/babies that need a peaceful home to grow,
  • orphaned puppies/kittens that need round the clock care
  • Difficult dogs/cats that need one on one attention
  • sick/injured/senior animals that need a quiet loving home to heal or live out their last days in peace and comfort.

Fostering may be the perfect solution for a military family or retirees who like to travel or snowbirds. The Humane Association of the Lowcountry (HAL) provides all medical care through Port Royal Veterinary Hospital or through the Beaufort County Animal Shelter at no cost, plus basic needs for your foster care pet including food, bowls, crate, litter and more. However, if you want to pay for food, litter, and toys, HAL would be very appreciative.
