Foster Program
for Dogs
What You Provide:
- A safe, comfortable, warm place in your home or (depending on the type and size of the animal) a safe, warm, comfortable place outside with good shelter and a secure enclosure.
- The loving, positive interactions with people that so many animals need before going to their forever homes.
- Introduction to common things that most pets are familiar with. Some dogs, for example, have never used steps or walked on a leash.
- Regular opportunity for exercise, especially for younger/larger dogs.
- (If you choose this option) Nursing care for a sick animal. This might include administering medications, making sure an animal has a quiet place to rest, transporting the sick one to a vet appointment.

Star of the North Humane Society is operated entirely by volunteers. We are currently only able to house cats. Our dogs are all in foster care. Our volunteers help with rescuing and rehoming unwanted companion animals. All the animals taken in by us are placed in foster homes until they can find their new homes.
We also facilitate a low-cost spay/neuter program for people with a household income of less that $40,000, and we distribute donated pet food to local food shelves, small rescue groups, and needy individuals. When you call, please leave a clear message. There is no one to take your initial call, but we make every effort to respond as soon as possible. If you have submitted an application to volunteer, foster, or adopt, your application will be processed as soon as possible and you will receive an email or phone call confirming the status.
