How do I adopt a pet from Foster Pet Outreach?

Foster Pet Outreach does not have a physical shelter as all of the animals are fostered in private homes. To visit one of our foster animals, please complete an adoption application and the foster home will contact you. We also have Petco events monthly to allow prospective adopters to see the foster animals.

All pets in our care are examined by a veterinarian, vaccinated, tested (Heartworm for dogs or Feline Leukemia for cats) and treated for worms, fleas, ticks and ear mites, spayed or neutered, and micro chipped.

Dogs receive vaccines against distemper, hepatitis, respiratory infections (including kennel cough), Parvo virus, and rabies. Cats receive their FVRCP combo vaccine to protect against Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia, rabies and Feline Leukemia booster.

The adoption process begins with an Adoption Application for a specific foster pet. The application will be forwarded to the foster parent who will contact you. The next step is a visit to your home if both parties want the process to continue. Foster Pet Outreach then requires a 24 hour waiting period before placing a pet in a new home, giving you time to think about this as a family and make preparations for your new pet.

Our adoption fee is $175 for cats and $200 for dogs. Generous donations have helped keep our adoption fees affordable.

These are typical veterinarian charges for just some of what Foster Pet Outreach provides:

What we expect from adopters:

• Provide annual vaccinations throughout lifetime
• Provide parasite and flea prevention thoughout lifetime
• Keep dogs inside allowing it access to the outdoors only for reasonable exercise
