Volunteer: Court Ordered Community Service

Please complete the online application at the link below to qualify for court-ordered community service.  

https://www.fortworthtexas.gov/departments/parks/court-ordered-community-service-registration

If your offense includes theft, violence, sexual assault, or a weapon, you are not eligible for our program.  You must contact your probation officer or attorney for a new program.

You are not approved to start court-ordered community service until you receive an approval letter from the City of Fort Worth staff. You must have the approval letter to begin community service at any City of Fort Worth community center. It is your responsibility to contact the community centers and coordinate if and when they have availability for community service.

Community Service Key Points:

You will typically be doing maintenance work, so dress appropriately but still maintain a well-groomed appearance. Center guests do not know you are not an employee, so it is important to act professionally and represent the City of Fort Worth well. If you do not meet the standards, staff can ask you to leave. Always sign in and sign out to ensure you get credit for your hours. Center staff will log your hours in the system. The court will call to verify your hours. Hold on to your original paperwork, do not leave it at the center. Never be alone in a room with a child (to protect yourself). Make sure you have enough time to complete all your hours. Create a consistent schedule. We recommend three to four hours a day.

Volunteer: 2026 Animal Foster Application

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?

Veterinary Care: Vaccinations, spay/neuter services, microchips, and in-shelter vet care.Supplies: Food, treats, beds, crates, leashes, and other basic items (based on availability).Trainings and Resources

What Do You Provide?

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

Please complete the online application at the link below to qualify for court-ordered community service.  

https://www.fortworthtexas.gov/departments/parks/court-ordered-community-service-registration

If your offense includes theft, violence, sexual assault, or a weapon, you are not eligible for our program.  You must contact your probation officer or attorney for a new program.

You are not approved to start court-ordered community service until you receive an approval letter from the City of Fort Worth staff.

Community Service Key Points:

You will typically be doing maintenance work, so dress appropriately but still maintain a well-groomed appearance. Center guests do not know you are not an employee, so it is important to act professionally and represent the City of Fort Worth well. If you do not meet the standards, staff can ask you to leave. Always sign in and sign out to ensure you get credit for your hours. Center staff will log your hours in the system. The court will call to verify your hours. Hold on to your original paperwork, do not leave it at the center. Never be alone in a room with a child (to protect yourself). Make sure you have enough time to complete all your hours. Create a consistent schedule. We recommend three to four hours a day.
