Become a Foster
At Claiborne Animal Shelter, we’re building a strong network of foster homes to support dogs on their way to forever families. Right now, we’re especially in need of short-term fosters to care for dogs who have already been adopted and are just waiting for transport to their new homes.
These pups are almost at the finish line—they just need a safe, loving place to rest until they can begin their next chapter. Fostering is a short-term commitment with a lifelong impact.
If you’ve got a little time and space, you can make a big difference.
Thank you for being part of the journey.
