Welcome to Special Pals! Since 1979, we’ve passionately championed the cause of animal welfare in Houston. Join us in our mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome, ensuring every animal finds their forever home.
Fostering a pet from Special Pals is a rewarding way to help animals who need extra love and care. From puppies and kittens to adult animals and those with special needs, our foster program caters to various animals in our care. As a foster parent, you provide a nurturing home for these animals, helping them become ready for their forever families.
Special Pals isn’t just another animal shelter; it’s a community, a family, bound together by an unwavering love and commitment to animals. Fostering with us offers more than just a chance to care for a pet temporarily. It’s an opportunity to be a part of a transformative experience, both for the animal and yourself.
Open your heart and home to an animal in need. Fostering is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have as an animal lover. By becoming a foster parent, you provide a temporary, loving environment for our animals, helping them heal, grow, and prepare for a forever home. Join our foster community and transform an animal’s life today.
Fostering animals is a deeply rewarding experience that not only brings immediate joy but also has lasting positive impacts. When you foster, you play an integral role in the rehabilitation and healing of a vulnerable creature, preparing them for a forever home. Beyond the immediate benefit of saving lives by making space at shelters, fostering provides a unique opportunity to personally contribute to the well-being and growth of an animal. Furthermore, the bond fostered between humans and their temporary pets often leads to immense emotional growth, understanding, and enrichment for the caregiver, making it a mutually transformative experience.
By offering a temporary home to our animals, you bridge the gap between rescue and forever homes, making a lasting impression on their lives.
Fostering not only changes the life of the animal you care for but also provides space for other animals in need, increasing the capacity of our rescue missions.
You’ll never be alone in your fostering journey. Special Pals provides all necessary training and resources, including food, medical care, and support.
