Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control - Foster View More Information

The LA County Animal Care and Control Foster Program plays an integral part in helping animals at our seven Animal Care Centers. Fostering is a wonderful experience. You can feel good knowing you helped an animal in need and are giving back. Fostering is an ideal activity for those who are unable to have an animal long term or someone who wants to provide a temporary home. Even better, foster animals provide companionship and purpose. FOSTERS ARE NEEDED FOR LARGE DOGS AND KITTENS
