Foster Eligibility & Rules for Events

• Dogs must be out of a shelter environment for 14 days. Sometimes dogs have been in a foster home prior to coming to SHH so ask your foster coordinator if they are able to attend!
• Puppies must be at least 12 weeks old with at least one set of shots a week prior to the event.
• Puppies 12-16 weeks MAY NOT touch the ground (this means they need to be held or in a wire crate).
• Dogs must be reasonably behaved for an on-leash event.
• Dogs who are causing a ruckus, distraction, or a scene will be asked to leave.
• Cats must have at least one set of shots, test negative for Feline Leukemia, and if over four months, must have rabies vaccination.
• Cats should be in visible crates for potential adopters to view (t​his means wire crates, not plastic. There are many small wire crates available at the office if you need one).​
• Dogs and cats must be in a healthy condition.

If you have any questions or to confirm your foster animal is eligible to attend an event, please contact your Foster Coordinator.
