Apply Here To Be A Foster Care Giver For Heidi's Legacy!
 

Foser A Dog & Save A Life!Sometimes a dog or cat that comes to us may need orthopedic surgery and a quiet environment in which to recuperate. Or a litter of tiny kittens might have been abandoned and they desperately need round-the-clock care.

Or a "teenaged" dog needs to learn some house rules before he can be considered suitable for adoption.

Our Foster Care Program helps these animals by providing volunteer caregivers who are willing to open their homes to needy animals. Our foster caregivers are special people who put their own concerns aside and focus on the needs of the dogs and cats that come into their lives. It can be trying, to say the least, but the rewards are immeasurable!

 Our Foster Care Program Saves Lives!   To find out more about becoming a foster care giver please review the Foster Guidelines and Foster Agreement.  If you need further information email Lori Hoffman or call 813-737-1795 in Tampa.  Each new Foster means more lives we can save!
