One of the most rewarding ways to volunteer is to become one of the families to see down-and-out cats or dogs through their transformation to a loving family pet.  We expect new foster homes to be flexible, capable self-starters who are willing to learn and work within our program.  It takes a special person/family to foster.

Homeless pets can come to BYC in need of vaccinations, surgeries, or just plain good ole TLC!  The costs of the pet are covered 100% by Because You Care, so there are no out of pocket expenses paid by the foster home.  Covered expenses include pet food, treats, vet visits and treatments, medication, bowls, and leashes.

The first step in becoming a foster home is to complete the application below.  You will be contacted by a representative to coordinate a discussion about the program and a home visit will be scheduled if you decide to join our team.

Applying to become a foster home is easy!  First, what type of pet are you interested in fostering?
