Fostering an Animal
Sub page header image

We do not foster to individuals under the age of 21.
If you are pregnant, please consider the possibility of allergies developing in your newborn BEFORE fostering a pet.
All pets are capable of aggression, and every pet is a potential scratcher/biter. We cannot guarantee the absence of aggression.
Viruses are a fact of life for all animals and are often exacerbated in a shelter setting. While we take every precaution that only healthy animals are placed for adoption or foster, there may be medical circumstances that were not detectable while the animals were in our care. Humane Society Yukon is fully financially responsible for any and all medical care that may arise while an animal is in foster. If any medical issues arise during foster you are required to contact Humane Society Yukon as soon as possible to make arrangements for veterinary treatment.
Photo ID is required to process fostering applications.
This application is not a test, and there are no wrong answers. We are only trying to find the most suitable, caring, homes for the animals in our care.
References cannot be a relative or family member, which includes spouses, fiancé(e)s, partners, etc. Please ensure the references you put on your application are personal references that will be responsive to our calls
If you are fostering an animal, you must be willing to bring the animal to the veterinary clinic or shelter for medical appointments. If you are unable to bring the animal to the scheduled appointment, please contact the shelter to make necessary arrangements.
To foster is not the same as adopting. Foster animals are still available for adoption.
The Humane Society Yukon reserves the right to refuse fostering and adoption to any individual. We will not release the reason for refusal.
