Do you need foster families?

Absolutely! We are always looking for great families to foster our pets during their stay with us.  Since our adoption events and veterinarians are in Southwest St. Louis County and Northern Jefferson County, we prefer our fosters are fairly close to that area.  We ask that fosters attend two events a month and be able to take the pet to its vetting appointments.  We have found over the years that fosters enjoy participating more if they live close to us.

What does the rescue provide?
The rescue provides all vetting, food, litter and other supplies.

What are the foster family’s responsibilities? 
The foster family is responsible for providing a loving, caring home environment, exercising the pet and, if a dog, providing guidance on proper house manners (housetraining, sit, down, not jumping on people, and not snatching food off the table!).

How long will we have the pet?
Unfortunately, that is unknown.  Some pets are adopted within days, others it takes months. We do expect our fosters be committed to the pet(s) until they are adopted.

What if we fall in love with our foster pet?
Foster families are always given the first option to adopt when their pet is available for adoption; however, we would love to keep you as a foster!

What if I cannot foster any longer?
STLPR asks that you provide us with as much notice as possible so we may find another foster family to care for the pet.
