Everyday Heroes: PAWS Foster Challenge

Join our legendary league of fosters and help place 300 pets in homes by July 31!

It’s the return of our biggest foster event of the year — with a heroic twist! Introducing the Everyday Heroes Foster Challenge — a citywide call to action for animal lovers to help us save lives.

With pets entering shelters at alarming rates and animals waiting longer than ever to find homes, our mission is urgent — and the moment to foster is now. Whether you’re a seasoned foster or just starting to consider it, it’s the perfect time to become a lifesaving force for pets in need. By opening your home for even for a short period time, you free up vital shelter space and help foster pets get one step closer to adoption. So many dogs, cats, kittens, and small animals are waiting to find comfort and care — and to them, you could be their foster superhero who saves the day!
