Adopt From Foster FAQs
What does it mean when a pet has the "Adopt From Foster" banner on their profile?
It means that the pet is lucky enough to spend their time in a foster home until they find a family to call their very own! They can be adopted right from their foster home versus having to be here at the shelter.
Where is this pet actually located?
They are in a loving foster home! All pets who have the "Adopt From Foster" banner will need an appointment in order to meet them. Sometimes, pets are met right in their foster home and other times, they are brought back to the shelter for a meet and greet - each situation may be a little different, but you and that pet's point person will work out those details!
How do I meet them/what is the adoption process?
The first step is to fill out the form that will pop up once you click the "Ask About Meeting Me button". From there, one of our staff members will reach out to you with more information about the pet and how to meet them.
Are you interested in helping a pet stay out of the shelter while they wait for an adopter?

Smudgey is a sweet man who loves to chat. He is currently enjoying life in a foster home rather than the shelter while he looks for his forever home. He hopes to find a calm, patient home with a feline friend who he can follow around. This handsome guy had been living an outdoor life last year, but a kind family took him in for the winter. Both in this home and his current foster, he needed to hunker down and hide for a while before he was ready to come out and explore. Once he settles in though, he loves to receive gentle face pets and will drool like a dog! Smudge is currently enjoying the companionship of another male cat. He always perks up when his foster brother enters the room, and seems to look up to him. Having a feline companion may help boost his confidence in the long term. We aren't sure how Smudge feels about dogs, but it is likely that he may prefer calm, quieter dogs if any. Some of us are of the opinion that love at first sight is overrated. If you don't mind putting in the time and effort to build a relationship with your next cat at their pace, then Smudge will make it worth your while! Email his foster mom Hannah at hhecht@lollypop.org to meet him.
