A Home for the Holidays: Short Term Foster Program for Shelter Pets
Open your home to a furry friend through our Holiday Foster Program and give a shelter pet the gift of comfort, care, and cuddles.
Short term fostering, even for a few days, can make a huge impact on a shelter dog. Being in a home reduces their stress levels and gives them the real life experience they can’t get in the shelter. That’s an immediate benefit whether the stay is two nights or two weeks. Dogs in foster homes naturally get more uninterrupted rest than their counterparts living in the shelter, which helps them thrive.
In the long term, foster care means a better outcome for the pet. Research shows that dogs who spend time in a temporary dog foster program, or even participate in the Doggy Day Out program, tend to be adopted faster.
Fostering a pet can have positive benefits for you, too! It’s emotionally rewarding, offers meaningful companionship, and gives you a chance to support local animal shelters like the Houston Humane Society in a hands-on way. It brings joy, connection, and a sense of purpose.
If you’ve been thinking about adding a pet to your family, consider hosting a holiday shelter animal. It’s a chance for you to save a life and help our adoptable pets in Houston find the loving homes they deserve.
