Foster Opportunities

Fostering is not a volunteer activity and you cannot accrue volunteer hours for participating.  Foster care homes are licensed by the Illinois Department of Agriculture - licensing fee is $25, renewable annually in June.  If you are interested in fostering please mark on your volunteer application or contact our Foster Coordinator at foster@saveapetil.org or 847-740-7788 ext 116.  Animals are selected by staff as available for fostering based on certain criteria such as age, lifestage, medical issues, and/or behavioral issues.  Some animals are available for temporary foster and some are available for permanent foster.

Volunteering opportunities are available as support for our Foster Coordinator that may include reaching out to foster homes, communications/promotions, data entry, and foster home management.
