If you are ready to roll your sleeves up and provide lifesaving care to an animal, fostering may be for you!

Fostering is a key part of an animal’s path to adoption!  Volunteer through the Shannon Wass & Dan Kelmenson Foster Care Program at HSSV to give temporary shelter, care and love to the animals that need it the most.
