Fostering makes life better for shelter animals

​

Alaska Mindful Paws is growing its foster program and we would love you to get involved!

 

What We Do

We predominantly foster kittens who are awaiting spay/neuter surgeries, or need to be bottle fed, or single puppies awaiting adoption.

 

From time to time, we’ll get a ‘hard case,’ which is usually behaviorally-challenged or sick dog that needs a break from the shelter. These cases need a quiet foster home with no other animals, but can be equally as rewarding.

​

For the most part, we do not foster out healthy, adoptable animals because we want them available should a potential adopter come to the shelter and want to visit them.

 

Most animals don’t stick around here long enough to need a foster home! And that’s something we’re proud of!

 

If you would like to open your heart and your home to a foster animal, complete the Foster Application or call the shelter at 235-3141 and we’ll put you on the list!

 

Thank you from our paws to yours!
