Helping our most vulnerable pets
From the tiniest puppies and kittens to recuperating seniors, there are always pets at the Humane Society of Southern Arizona in need of a little extra help.
The HSSA’s Foster Care Program provides care for animals not yet ready for adoption. Volunteers care for animals in their own homes, providing animals that are underweight, underage, sick or injured the time they need to grow or heal. Our foster parents saves thousands of lives each year and there is always a need for foster parents.

Whether it’s a litter of puppies or a shy, frightened kitten, we depend on our foster families to cultivate healthy and confident animals who are ready to find their forever home.
