Become a Foster Hero and Help Us Save Lives!

Foster caregivers are an essential part of our mission to save lives at Fort Worth Animal Care and Control. By opening your home to a shelter pet, you provide them with the love and care they need to thrive outside of the shelter environment. From pets recovering from illness or injury to orphaned kittens and puppies, foster homes are the bridge between a challenging start and a happy ending.

We have fostering options for everyone! Whether you can commit to just a day or are ready to welcome a furry friend for longer, there’s a program that fits your lifestyle and helps our pets get one step closer to adoption.

YOU MUST LIVE WITHIN 50 MILES OF EITHER OF OUR MAIN SHELTERS TO BE ABLE TO FOSTER

Types of Foster Opportunities

Transport Fostering

Make a life-changing impact in just a short amount of time! This program supports pets selected for our out-of-state transport program, where they’re headed to areas with a greater demand for adoptable animals. Many of these pets already have adoptive families eagerly waiting for them! As a transport foster, you provide a temporary home, ensuring they’re healthy, happy, and ready for their journey. Your role is vital to the success of this incredible program, and it’s a rewarding way to save lives in a short-term commitment.

Traditional Fostering

Provide a safe, nurturing environment for shelter pets awaiting their forever homes. Traditional fosters care for pets of all ages, sizes, and needs. Whether it’s a shy dog needing socialization, a cat recovering from minor medical care, or a playful puppy waiting to grow strong enough for adoption, you’re giving them the gift of stability and love.

Puppies and Kittens, (Including Bottle Babies)

Help our youngest and most vulnerable residents! Caring for puppies and kittens, especially bottle-fed babies, is a rewarding experience. These tiny lives depend on foster homes for round-the-clock care, socialization, and a safe place to grow.

What Does the Shelter Provide?

What Do You Provide?

A safe, loving home, exercise, space, and socialization to help your foster pet thrive.

No matter which program you choose, you’ll play a critical role in saving lives and bringing hope to shelter pets in need. Join us today and become a Foster Hero!

Court Ordered Community Service At Thomas Place Community Center

If you need volunteer hours for NHS or NJHS or anything else come see us!

Before registering for this opportunity, be sure you have contacted texasstreamteam@fortworthtexas.gov and been assigned an approved Monitoring Site and Standard Core Kit location. 

Please monitor your assigned Site(s) monthly at the same time of day each month, for a one year commitment. For example: a possible monitoring schedule could be the first Sunday of each month at 10:00 am. Adherence to a consistent monitoring time is crucial because the physical and chemical parameters fluctuate over a 24-hour period. Monitoring takes approximately one to two hours per month per site *be sure to include your travel time in your total hours. 

Remember to check-out your assigned kit and return it within 3-4 days to ensure other citizen scientists also have access. 

Equipment Needed to Complete Monitoring:

Be sure to dress weather appropriate and be safe while sampling. Thank you for your contributions towards protecting Texas' natural resources!
