Foster Care Program | Become a Foster Parent!
The Foster Care Program is designed to give animals, who are too young or not ready to be adopted, a chance to thrive in a loving, temporary home until they can be adopted through the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility.
What does the program do?

Foster parents provide temporary  specialized care that certain animals need.
-
The Foster Care Program gives the community an opportunity to get involved and help the Animal Care Facility.

Nursing mother cats or dogs and their babies.
-
Baby animals that are too young to survive on their own.
