MERCED COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER EMERGENCY FOSTER PROGRAM – WE NEED YOUR HELP
Feeling lonely during the quarantine? Feel like something is missing from your home? Do you need something to occupy your kids and teach them responsibility while they are being home-schooled? Then the Merced County Animal Shelter has a program for you. Over the last couple of weeks, during this emergency, we have been experiencing an increased intake of animals coming into the Shelter and a slowdown of animals leaving the Animal Shelter and we need the public’s help. We are currently seeking people who live in Merced County and can provide a home for a foster pet for 2-6 weeks.
We need foster homes for adult dogs and cats with our biggest need being medium and large dogs. If you feel this is something you can commit to, and you have the ability to keep this foster pet separate from other pets and people in your residence should an issue arise, please fill out the online application and tell us a little about your home situation.
Once your application is submitted and approved we will contact you and schedule an appointment soon.
