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 click the "Ask About Meeting Me" button, which will take you directly to this pet's adoption page on Shelterluv. 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?

We love to hear that! Become a foster volunteer at lollypop.org/foster. You will receive emails letting you know who is eligible for our "Adopt From Foster" program!

Are you looking for a sweet, cuddly, happy-go-lucky cat? Look no further, let me introduce you to Screwball! Screwball came to Lollypop Farm after a kind community member noticed he seemed to be struggling outside. Screwball was in need of some couch time and medical attention. Luckily, he was sent into a foster home where he could rest and heal. In his time in foster care, Screwball has been nothing but a joy to have around. While he is FIV+, he can live (and LOVES) other feline friends as long as they are spayed/neutered. Screwball loves his feline foster brothers, foster mom, and any other visitors. You can find Screwball sunbathing, eating, or cuddled up with one of his brothers. Despite a bit of a rough start to life, Screwball has nothing but love to give. If this boy sounds like he could be the one for you, please email sjones@lollypop.org to learn more!
