Foster Care
Fostering is an important step in a pet’s journey to their forever home. A home environment is best for their health and wellbeing. Fostering cats and dogs allows them to thrive in a home environment and practice forming bonds with their caregivers. For pets who have been waiting longer for adoption, foster caregivers can help reassure adopters that these pets are a good fit for a home and speak to the type of home or family that would be the best match for the pet.
Angel of Hope is in constant need of foster homes for cats and dogs while they await adoption. Foster care can be as short as an overnight stay after surgery to a longer-term commitment that lasts until the animal gets adopted. Typically, foster care lasts for one to three months but may last longer. AOH will be happy to work with you to meet your needs and match the best foster pet to your household.
If you foster with AOH, you provide training, socialization and lots of love.
We will provide all pre-approved medical care and support for you while the animal is in your home, and the essentials like food, litter and other supplies needed to help ensure fostering is a great experience for you and the pet!

Animals in Need of a Foster Home
There are many reasons why an animal would need to be fostered. Angel of Hope Animal Rescue rescues cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes. Some animals that need fostering are for socialization reasons (timid/scared, or extra spicy), some animals need to be fostered for medical reasons or are waiting on vet appointments or surgeries, etc. There are many different reasons animals need to be fostered before they can be adopted to their forever families. We’ll work with you to make sure you are matched with the animal(s) you feel most comfortable with.
For a current list of animals that need to be fostered, you need to join the Facebook group: AOH Foster Connection.
We are in constant need of maternity foster homes.
Maternity Fosters
We get calls for people needing to surrender their pregnant cats, constantly. We are in constant need of some fosters who can take on a pregnant momma, and foster her until she has her kittens, and is done nursing! Experienced maternity foster would be ideal, but not required. Bonus: adorable kitten photos for days!
If you would like to foster a momma cat and her kittens, please apply here: Cat Foster Application.
Puppy & Dog Fosters
Angel of Hope is a foster based rescue. We do not have any puppies or dogs on-site, they are all in foster homes. So, in order for us to take in more dogs and puppies, we have to have committed foster homes ready to go. Could that be you? If you are interested in fostering puppies or dogs, please complete our foster application here.
