Share your Love for Pets Without the Commitment
With the surge in adoptions at PAWS Chicago’s new Lincoln Park Adoption & Humane Center, PAWS Chicago needs foster homes now more than ever. With more foster homes, PAWS Chicago will be able to save even more homeless dogs, cats, puppies and kittens.
Young kittens and puppies and dogs and cats in need of medical treatment often need a few weeks of TLC before they can be spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and adopted. At PAWS Chicago, these needy pets would occupy space at the Admissions Center for weeks—space that could be used to save many more homeless pets during that time if foster homes are available.
PAWS Chicago will provide the medical care and support team to help you with any questions you may have during the foster period. We match foster animals with foster homes to meet the needs of both.
Foster Parents Needed for:
- Puppies (10 day – 2 week commitment)
- Kittens (10 day – 2 week commitment)
- Mom and/or Newborns (3 – 6 week commitment)
- Dogs & Cats Recovering from an Illness or Injury (10 day – 3 week commitment)
- Emergency Network providing temporary homes for pet owners in crisis (3 – 12 week commitment)
Foster Parent Commitment:
- Caretaker providing food, water, toys and a lot of love
- Administering medicine or special diets as needed
- Scheduling any needed medical appointments with the PAWS Chicago Admissions Center at 3516 W. 26th Street (Little Village/ Pilsen Neighborhood) and providing transportation
