Foster Volunteers
Lollypop Farm is currently in need of foster care volunteers. Foster care provides pets in need of rest and recovery an environment that helps them heal faster. It also helps pets who find the shelter environment stressful, a quieter space where they can easily put their best paw forward while looking for a new home. If you are willing to foster the following kinds of animals, we need you!
- Large breed dogs
- Pets who do best in a single pet household
- Adult cats being treated for medical conditions
- Neonate kittens who need round-the-clock care
