Fostering Saves Lives

Join FTLOJ as a foster today to give an animal another chance at life. Opening your heart and home to an animal in need can make a difference. We provide everything you need, including supplies, training, adoption services, and veterinary care. We specialize in neonatal care, so we prioritize foster homes that will care for bottle babies and mothers with litters.

Foster Guidelines:

The foster must live in a pet friendly rental or own their home.
The foster must have a means of transportation for vet visits or adoption events.
All cats and dogs in the foster's home must be spayed or neutered, with a few allowable exceptions with documentation (show dogs, working dogs, medical conditions, etc.).
All cats and dogs in the foster's home must be up to date on yearly preventative wellness care to prevent infectious diseases:
- Yearly exam
- Recommended vaccinations or titer testing
  - Dogs: Rabies, DAPP, Bordetella
  - Cats: Rabies and FVRCP, Feline Leukemia strongly recommended
- Recommended lab work
  - Fecal testing
  - Heartworm testing
  - FIV/FeLV testing
