Consider Fostering a Pet Today!

Humane Society of Missouri’s (HSMO’s) Foster Care Program is all about providing second chances. This program places animals in temporary homes until they are ready to find their forever homes. Foster parents open up their homes and hearts to animals in need. These dedicated volunteers provide an opportunity to grow and socialize shelter pets from abused and neglected animals to those displaced due to disasters and unforeseen emergencies.

Based on the Caring School community National Character Education Model

The curricula is based on the Caring School Community principles and focuses on animal-welfare education. Each club meets once a month at your school for 90 minutes to explore animal-related topics through buddy time, discussion, group activities and home-side activities. Students will have fun learning about animals and how to be more compassionate, responsible and caring people.

How You Can Get Involved

Become a foster parent and provide love and care to animals in your own home. Foster parents decide when, how long, and what animals they foster. All food, medical care and supplies are provided by HSMO. Emergency Care foster parents are also needed to provide emergency lodging and care during times of disaster. If you’re unable to foster, you can still support the program with a donation. We cannot do this without the financial support of caring people like YOU!
