The Pets in Crisis Support Program provides temporary foster housing to pets of families who are facing the crisis of housing instability, domestic violence, or a health emergency for up to 90 days so these pets can be reunited with their families.

Having foster homes in this program allows us to step in during these situations so that loving pet owners do not have to permanently surrender their pets to a shelter during a temporary crisis.

How Foster Care Works

What We Provide: The Atlanta Humane Society provides all veterinary care, medicine, food, and supplies needed for foster animals, as well as a supportive network of other foster parents and volunteers.

What Fosters Provide: A foster parent offers a safe, nurturing home filled with warmth and love.

Why Foster?

Fostering a pet in crisis is more than just providing a temporary home. It’s giving hope to a family during their darkest moments. By fostering, you become a lifeline for pets and their families, offering stability when they need it most. Your kindness ensures that no one has to choose between their safety and their beloved companion.
