Foster Homes

Beamsville 4Paw Rescue is a Non-Kill , Non-Cage Rescue. Our program does not have shelters or kennels and depend on private foster home within the Niagara and surrounding areas. We are in desperate need of responsible foster families to foster cats, kittens, puppies and dogs. We can only take in as many animals as we can foster. All it takes is one room and a big heart. We supply all food, litter and supplies.

There are so many abused, neglected animals, and since COVID and the economy, many are abandoned tossed outside left to fend for themselves.  If you feel you have enough love and one room for just to foster, then you can help save a life. 

Why Use Fosters!

Socialization – Some animals come to our rescue after being neglected, abandoned or never had the opportunity to have be loved by anyone.  Being in foster care allows these animals to have special attention, which helps them get over their fear or humans and to start enjoying the comforts of a home.  If you foster a pet that needs socialization, your are giving the pet the the chance to find it’s “Forever Home”  and becoming a loving household pet!

Medical Care – Some animals may need medical care before they can be can find them a home. This may be as easy as giving medication daily, or attending to the broken bones they encountered. You are never alone when you foster the pets that need this care, as we will be with you ever step of the way. 

Pregnant, Mom & Babies Pets – Pregnant or Mom & Babies pets can not be adopted until the babies are 12 weeks old. Many times need to be fostered for up to 3 months or more. This means that one of our rooms in our main foster/adoption centers is limited in space for bringing other adoptable pets into our system. If you decide to foster you are helping with your foster pets, but allow us to bring other rescued pets that need to be rescued into our rescue.

Seeing if a pet is right for you – Besides saving an animal’s life, fostering is also a great way to find out the true personality of the pet to make sure that the family who adopts is the right fit. You will have no obligation to keep fostering the animal if it is not working out for you. However we do ask that you give notice so we can locate another foster home.

Fostering To Adopt – Fostering is great if you have an existing pet and think you may like to add another member to your family. Fostering will give you a chance to see if this pet is the right fit for your family. It will also give you time to see if other pets you may have in your home, or other family members can get along with the animal before you make the final commitment to adopt that animal.
