Help Our Local Animal Shelter
Fostering is a very tangible way to make a difference. Everyone benefits: The foster volunteer gets to spend time with a special animal. The foster dog or cat gets a break from kennel life and a second chance at becoming a cherished pet. The new owners get a pet that is better adapted to home life, and therefore has a better chance of remaining in the new home permanently. If you have a big heart and a little extra time that you can spare it will give you a sense of joy unlike any other. Please consider making a difference in the life of a shelter pet. If you are interested in becoming a foster home, contact Amador County Animal Control at 223-6378. Stefanie Hogan-Martin and Mike Martin, mmsh@volcano.net
