Statewide shutdown is the perfect time to foster an animal, or take the plunge and adopt
At this time while the state is under quarantine orders and people are starting to feel more and more stir crazy, the perfect cure is a simple one: fostering animals.
According to the Nevada Humane Society, no experience is needed to become a foster care volunteer. The most important factor a volunteer can have is a loving, safe home.
There are many different types of foster situations, whether it be a litter of orphaned kittens who need to be bottle fed, to a mama with a litter of nursing puppies. Every volunteer gets to decide what type of foster situation is right for them.
The Nevada Humane Society also provides a starter kit of supplies, any medications, training, as well as on-call assistance if any issues arise.
In addition, all medical treatment for foster animals will be provided by the Nevada Humane Society.

The Carson City branch of the Humane Society is allowing potential pet-parents in on an appointment basis, but it is currently closed to walk-ins during the statewide shut down.
You can schedule an appointment by calling (775) 887-2171
