Welcome Foster Parent!
Riverside County Department of Animal Services thanks YOU!
Thank you for opening your home and your heart to a foster animal. Whether you foster an animal that needs some time to grow, or an adult who needs a little extra TLC, you make it possible for us to provide the very best care for all of our residents.
Fostering is messy, rewarding, stinky, adorable, and sometimes a heartbreaking job. Throughout your foster experience we want you to know you are not alone. We have staff available to assist you!
If you have any questions or issues, please email the foster supervisor at [email protected] or call (951) 358-7376 during business hours.
For after-hours emergencies, please call (951) 358-7387.
