Fostering Saves Lives. Become a Foster Today!
Fosters are special people and families who care for pets in need until they find their forever homes. JCAPL rescues, rehabilitates, spays/neuters, fosters, and adopts-out over 350 cats and 250 dogs each year. Without a shelter, fosters are the foundation of our organization. JCAPL would not be able to operate without them!
