Foster Program & Re-Homing Animals
Foster program for homeless animals. BHS does not keep any animals at our building. All our animals are kept in foster homes.
Important Note: The BHS cannot accept cats, kittens, dogs or puppies from people who want to release or abandon an animal. All animals must be accepted into the Foster Program with the approval of the Foster Coordinator, and with the continued support of the person releasing the animal to house and feed the animal. Releasing an animal into the care of strangers must be performed in a responsible manner and with appropriate protocols.
BHS makes every effort to find foster care for homeless and stray animals. We also try to help take in animals needing training or other assistance from the shelter. Volunteers are always needed to help with this need.
We work with people who are looking for a new home for their animal by asking them to be a temporary foster home, these essential Caregivers keep the animal and work with us to find a home. We also work in this same capacity with people who have litters of puppies and kittens for adoption. We require the mother to be spayed for these litters to be supported.
Any of our foster animals can be shown at the monthly Adoption Day and are available for adoption between the monthly events via phone calls or email: bhsfosterprogram@gmail.com.
