OSTAT Temporary Foster Program

One Short-term Tail at a Time

We are often contacted by folks looking for a temporary solution to house their beloved buddy. Whether it be to escape a dangerous situation, due to health conditions that require a hospital stay, or any of the other potential life happenings that cause humans to find themselves in need, there are not many options for those seeking short-term solutions for their companion animal while they take care of themselves. So we created OSTAT — One Short-term Tail at a Time, a foster program for those in our community needing temporary support for their animals while they tend to human things.

If you are in need of temporary foster for a companion animal, please fill out this program application:
