Foster Care Information
MaxFund is looking for a foster parent(s) willing to foster animals in need of a safe and caring environment in which to reach their full loving potential. Animals in our loving foster homes are much easier to adopt because they heal more quickly from any existing injuries or medical procedures and don’t suffer from some of the more common issues found in shelter animals:
|
 |
Obesity |
|
|
Depression |
|
|
Anxiety |
|
|
Fear of animals or people |
|
|
Other health issues related to stress |
|

|
|
Compatibility with other animals |
|
|
Compatibility with children |
|
|
Mobility issues |
|
|
Dogs must have a completely enclosed yard with shelter provided both outdoors and indoors |
|
|
Cats must be kept indoors at all times |
|
As a foster parent your responsibilities include providing a safe and nurturing environment:
|
|
Providing high quality pet food, litter boxes, toys |
|
|
Commitment to follow integration best practices to insure the foster animal integrates with any other animals, children and/or spouses. |
