Animal Shelter Foster Homes Needed

Shelter Animals and Petfinder

If you visit the  and see animals that you later try to find on Petfinder, they may not be listed. When animals come in as strays the shelter holds them for seven days to see if the owners reclaim. Shelter volunteers post the animals for adoption on Facebook or Petfinder after seven days. Plus, with over 300 available animals for adoption at any one time, it's difficult for volunteers to keep up.

Petfinder is updated daily, usually in the morning from the previous day based on the list received from the shelter.

Foster Homes

FOSACobb is always in need of foster homes, though not directly for the shelter. They do transports to out-of-state rescues and are always looking for 2 to 3 week fosters until the animals can leave on transport. Also, many of the rescues that save dogs from Cobb are looking for foster homes.

Inquire at the FOSACobb Facebook page for more information.
