Notes:
Disaster Emergency Foster Care
Do you have space to open your heart and your home to an animal impacted by the coming storm? Please use this site to connect.
Do you have room at your home? Let us know about your availability to be a temporary foster home for a pet whose family is being evacuated. Help be a part of "Operation Save a Life!"
In the wake of Hurricane Ike, many animals have been lost, abandoned, and injured on Galveston Island. The Houston SPCA is asking the community to help give these storm victims a second chance at life by participating in “Operation Save a Life.”
The Houston SPCA’s “Operation Save a Life” is asking every family who is able to foster a Galveston pet for ten days. If after ten days, the displaced animal is not reclaimed by its original owner, the foster parent has the option to adopt the animal or return him/her to the shelter for placement.
There are a few requirements to participate in “Operation Save A Life.”
· Current pets in a foster home must be fully vaccinated and spayed or neutered.
· Each home must keep foster pets in a completely separate room or area from current pets.
· Renters must have permission from their landlords and present a lease agreement.
· Foster parents must present a photo ID and provide current contact information.
· Each foster parent will also be required to sign a contract with the understanding that the animal belongs to the Houston SPCA during its foster care.
· Foster families will not be responsible for veterinary care during the ten-day foster period.
Families interested in fostering please click here to request an application. The hope for all of these animals is that they will be reunited with their original owners or given a second chance at life in new a loving, permanent home.
