Medical Foster
Medical foster volunteers provide a loving, calm environment for pets recovering from injuries, illnesses, or surgeries. In most cases, medical fosters are longer time commitments, averaging 2-4 weeks but can be longer depending on the pets condition.
The most common illnesses/conditions sent to medical foster are:
- Ringworm
- Scabies
- Demodex
- Upper Respiratory Infections (URI’s)
- Underweight/Emaciated Animals
- Fractures
Medical foster volunteers are expected to bring their foster pet in for all follow-up appointments and rechecks, typically every 1-2 weeks or more as needed.
Medical experience is not required prior to committing to a medical foster, as the Pet Resource Center foster team will provide any and all training and care instructions along with any needed medications at time of pick up.
