Be a Foster Mom or Dad

Sad puppy

Fostering will save a life of a shelter animal!

The City of Albuquerque Animal Care Center (AACC) is looking for foster parents to provide temporary homes for special need animals. The types of animals that need fostering include litters of puppies/kittens with or without mamas, animals recovering from surgery, and animals with behavioral issues. Those animals which require fostering are determined by AACC management.

The devotion and care provided by a foster parent gives the animal a chance to be adopted by a loving home and the length of time an animal spends with a foster parent depends on the requirements of the animal. This can be an intense short-term commitment, but also a very rewarding one.

Become a part of our foster parent program and you could make the difference for animals that cannot be adopted right away.
