Volunteer: Foster Home

Some of the pets brought to the shelter are in need of extra care and attention. These pets are placed in foster homes until they are ready to be placed up for adoption. Some circumstances which would demand a foster home would be animals that arrive at the shelter pregnant or nursing, orphans and animals removed for cruelty reasons. Homes which foster rescued animals need to understand that they may be caring for the animal for an undetermined period of time, and that there is a chance the animals may not become available for adoption.

To volunteer, Express Interest below. For more information, call (605) 338-4441.

Volunteer: Foster Homes for Animals

Through foster care, thousands of animals have received special care before getting a second chance at a forever home. So many of our animals need foster care before they are ready to find new homes, and this need continues to increase. Foster volunteers take responsibility for spending individualized time with these animals and providing a safe environment and loving home for them until they are able to go up for adoption. Each year, more than 250 foster families, open up their homes, and share their love and lives with fosters from the SFAHS. They give hands-on care to the animals that need it most, assist in providing accurate personality descriptions, and provide support. SFAHS fosters have a deep understanding of the hard work and passion that goes into saving the lives of our rescued animals, helping us to create a better future for all animals.
