Animals in Our Foster Care



One of the most rewarding aspects of working with FOPCP is placing the right animal with the right family.   Though we have limited space, we provide foster homes for a few animals when we can.   Through fostering, we are able to learn about the animal's personality and behaviors.   Then we can make a better decision when finding them the perfect family.   Fostering also gives us a chance to socialize, doctor, and train our animals as needed.  Currently, we have a whole new crew of fosters eager to find a new home.

Ross is a lovable guy!
Ross is a sweet little guy who had been abandoned.   He was terrified, and hid from the very people who were trying to help him.   After he realized he was in no danger, he slowly came out of his shell.  Now that he is in foster care, he is learning to interact with other dogs.  He's doing great, and now the only thing that is abandoned about him is his shyness.

Hattie is just looking for a lap!

Hattie is an adorable beagle mix.   She's playful, and would make a great family pet.   She aspires to be the perfect lapdog!  Weighing only 15 pounds, this full-grown female has kept her playful puppy looks.

Teva has a killer smile!
Teva always has a smile on her face!   She's about a year old, but she's very active and loves to play.  She is a beagle mix, but her coloring makes her unique.   She has pale browns and yellows in her coat, and she's absolutely beautiful!

Cap'n Jack!  You know, like Jack Sparrow.  
But without the eye shadow.

Brave little Cap'n Jack lost his eye in a dramatic pirate duel.   Naw, just kidding.   He had an infection that went untreated.   After his surgery, we took him into foster care so that he could recover.  He is unique, with beautiful chocolate brown fur swirled with white.  He's still a kitten, but he has learned to use the litter box and is great with dogs and cats.   He's a sweet little guy, and he's searching for the ultimate treasure....a new loving family!      

Adele is a super sweetie!
Speaking of one-eyed animals....we have one more!   Adele is an amazingly sweet lab mix that also has one functioning eye.   The vet suspects her other eye was blinded at birth.  She already walks perfectly on a leash, and really loves to spend time with people.   She is calm and happy, and would make a great pet for an older couple.

These are just a few of the new animals in foster care.  We will post more about them in the next few days, including videos!   If you think you might want to meet any of these guys, let us know!   They are all sweeties, and would love to be a part of your family!
