Foster Parents Are Great:
We have to have
foster parents in our network in order for our shelter to be
successful. There is only so much space in the actual Shelter
Facility, and sometimes a pet NEEDS to have socialization with a
family. Whether its a foster home for dogs or cats, Lone Pine
will provide you all the tools you need to make your home ready.
From litter boxes to leashes, we will work with you to ensure that
you and the rescue pet has the best chance at getting along.
There are times when a foster family can make the difference between
life and death for a pet. Many dogs who have been neglected,
or abandoned, have serious trust issues, and in a kennel situation,
they can be labeled "unadoptable". If they get a chance at a
loving foster home, who will take time to work with the pup, gain
his trust, and rebuilt the relationship between human/pet, then he
can be adopted. If you would like to open your home to a pet
in need, please let us know by filling out our Foster Application.
What You Need is Provided:
If you get approved
to be a foster parent in Lone Pine's rescue system, then we will
provide with you with everything you need to take care of that pet.
For cats, litter boxes, food, treats, and toys. For dogs,
food, leashes, play toys, and a space you can bring the dog to
run/socialize. If you are curious about how the foster systems
works, how you get supply refills, please Contact Us.
Sick Foster Pets:
Most of the problems that
happen with pets, whether its cats or dogs, we have probably seen
before. We do keep alot of medical stock on hand, and our
volunteers and shelter director can work with most medical issues.
If there is a problem that we cannot easily handle, then you can
call the urgent/emergency number you were provided during your
initial foster interview. The shelter director will then make
a decision on what to do, either take the pet directly to Lone
Pine's local vet, or the Emergency Vet Clinic.
