Foster Over the 4th Program for Pets at the Animal Services Adoption Center

Animal Services is seeking residents for the Foster Over the 4th program to shelter pets in need from the Adoption Center over the holiday weekend. Pick-ups and drop-offs are by appointment only. Foster pick-ups will take place on Thursday, June 30 or Friday, July 1, with pets returning for drop-off on Tuesday, July 5 or Wednesday, July 6. Animal Services is closed on Monday, July 4.

Animal Services supplies all fosters with a crate/carrier, food, bowls, and a leash/collar for dogs. All dogs and cats eligible for fostering must be current on rabies vaccines and spayed/neutered, if old enough. Strays must also be off their five-day hold to be eligible to leave for foster care. Dogs and cats eligible for foster/adoption can be seen at www.accgov.com/fosterapet.

Residents interested in participating in the Foster Over the 4th program should first fill out a foster application, which includes uploading a required video tour of the potential foster home, at www.accgov.com/fosterapet.
