Foster

The Yakima Humane Society provides care for thousands of animals each year, some of which require time in foster care before they are ready to be adopted. Fostering a homeless pet is both a rewarding and enriching experience; it is also great for families or individuals who love animals but cannot commit to having a full-time companion animal. For more information about being a foster or if you have any questions, please call 509-457-6854 or email foster@yakimahumane.org.
