Our fosters are essential to Culpeper Humane Society. We would not be able to complete our mission of a no-kill community without them. Our foster program allows us to rescue more animals, provide them with the love and care they need, and ultimately find their forever homes.

Fostering is an incredibly rewarding experience. Not only are you directly helping an animal in need, but you also get to witness their transformation firsthand. You get to watch them grow and thrive from the moment they come into your care until the day they are adopted. And knowing that you played a part in giving them a second chance at life is an incredible feeling.

If you are interested in becoming a foster for Culpeper Humane Society, please fill out our online foster application. We would be grateful to have you as part of our team!
