OUR FOSTER PROGRAM

Wayward Journey manages the foster care program for Grass Valley Animal Shelter’s animals. 

 

Foster providers take home pets who need a little extra care and attention before they’re ready to go home with a new family.

 

Taking an animal into foster care provides an opportunity for socialization and gives them a break from shelter life.

Becoming a Foster Provider

Some foster animals are young or have health issues so it is important to understand the needs of each foster animal and how much time you have available. We can match you with the appropriate foster animal depending on your availability. 

The length of time you will foster greatly depends on the individual animal and the number of animals fostered. The foster period could be from a 3 night sleepover to several months.
