ANIMAL CARE TECHNICIANS

FOSTER HOMES
Foster homes are critically needed to save dogs and cats from being put to sleep. In your home, the healthy CAWL pet will live in a safe and caring environment until placed with a permanent family by our adoption teams.

MEET THE PUBLIC
at our booth at community events.

DONATIONS
of quality cat, kitten, dog and puppy food, cat litter, cat carriers, cat condos, small towels and small wire crates in good condition are also needed as supplies for our adoptive pets.

Each foster home is critical. We can increase our intake of cats and dogs from shelters if we have room for them in a foster home. When we make an adoption, we can then take another pet from the shelter and place it into a foster home. With limited availability, many adoptable dogs and cats are put to sleep. If you can be a foster home, CAWL will provide all medical care, food, etc...All you furnish is your (TLC) time, love and care.
