FOSTER OPPORTUNITIES:

Because The Ark does not have an animal shelter building, the need is great for places to keep our animals until we can find their forever homes. If you have room for a dog or cat in your home, it's one of the best ways that you can volunteer. Foster homes usually keep their animals for a period of a couple of weeks to a couple of months, until they are adopted. It's easy - we pay for all of the animal's healthcare, food, and supplies.  All you have to do is provide a safe, loving temporary home!


Fostering is a very fulfilling way to help out. If you've thought about adopting a pet, but aren't quite sure what breed is best for you, fostering is a wonderful way to try out different types of animals and determine whether they are suitable for your lifestyle. You are providing a safe environment for the pet to stay in and increasing its socialization.


If you think you'd be interested in fostering one of our homeless animals, please email us at info@arkofsanjuan.org or call 949-388-0034 and we'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
