    Description

    Ahimsa House needs your help more than ever to continue meeting the current demand for our services. Take in the pets of domestic violence survivors until they get "back on their feet" in a safe, non-abusive environment.

    During the holidays, our veterinary and boarding partners’ facilities understandably tend to fill up with reservations made months in advance. We are seeking short-term foster homes that can help house:

    • Pets whose fosters will be traveling for the holidays.
    • Pets at facilities that could only reserve their space until the holiday rush.
    • Pets who escape domestic violence with their human during the holidays.

    Your foster pet will get dropped off right at your home with all needed supplies, and we'll be here 24/7 if you need support. Please reach out to vanessa@ahimsahouse.org with any questions, or get started on your foster application at ahimsahouse.org/foster!

    You may be asked to give a few days or weeks of your time ... to the pet who benefits, it means a lifetime.
