Think you’d like to foster animals in need in your home?
You can make an immediate and lasting impact on the life of a homeless pet as a Humane Society of Morocco Volunteer.
Animals may need foster care for many reasons and temporarily opening your home saves lives. Foster care offers the one-on-one attention and loving comfort that only a home setting can offer, which is precisely what some animals need to heal.
As a foster care volunteer, you may host animals with special medical or behavioral needs, mother animals with nursing litters, or underage animals who need special feeding and socialization, like puppies, bunnies, or kittens. By fostering an animal, you are providing rehabilitation in a nurturing home environment, directly preparing them for adoption into a loving home.
Please note: You can make the greatest impact by fostering dogs and cats on veterinary plans, injured stray pets, and neonatal kittens or puppies who require round-the-clock bottle feeding. These are the pets greatest in need of generous people like you before they are ready to find new homes.
Do you have a lot of love to give? Love animals but can’t commit to having a full-time pet?
Fostering is a great way for you to be able to fulfill these needs, whilst helping free up valuable space in our place for sick, injured, or vulnerable animals & helping to prepare our animals for their future furever homes.
By fostering one of our animals, you are agreeing to take our animal into your home temporarily & care for them, until they are well enough to be released back to our place or are adopted.
Animals that are available for fostering, are fostered for a variety of different reasons:
• Safety / Illness:
They may be abused, abandoned, sick, or injured & need a quiet safe space to rest & recover.
• Behavioral problems:
To aid socialisation or to assist the animal to transition from its original place to a domestic environment.
• Space & resources:
Our place may be at capacity, & by offering your home as a temporary space, you are freeing up space & resources.
At least 18 years old
The pets are going to be staying in your current home until needed
If you are renting, you have express written permission from your landlord that you are able to keep an animal on the premises
You have owned an animal before
You are at home for several hours a day.
Fostering an animal from the Humane Society of Morocco is a wonderfully rewarding experience. You are not only opening up your home & your heart, but you are opening up space in our place, to enable us to be able to take on more animals in need. More animals fostered, means more animals off the street. More animals off the street = more potential for our animals to end up in the loving arms of a family.
You will receive full support from us whilst on your fostering journey, to ensure that both you & your new furry friend are fully supported whilst adjusting to your new experience together.
Гуманное общество Марокко will equip you with all the necessary equipment & advice to make your time together as comfortable, safe & enjoyable as possible.
WE ARE CURRENTLY SEEKING:

Once we have received your application, we will assess your living situation & we can suggest an animal that we think may be suitable for you.
Every animal sent into foster care opens up a spot at our place for a new animal, so foster care volunteers are saving lives! Additionally, many animals benefit from a home setting rather than a shelter, especially if they are recovering from a medical procedure. Fostering at home can decrease stress and it helps us learn what that pet will be like in a home setting. The more information we have on each pet, the better matches we can make with new families!
*Note: Not every animal seen on our website is eligible for fostering.
If you run into additional behavior issues with your foster animal, we have a team of pet behaviorists as well as Foster Program staff who would be happy to assist you in correcting the problem. More often than not, it is a small issue that can be corrected with a little extra attention and time. We always ask, no matter how small the issue is that you notify the Foster Program Manager so we can make sure it is handled properly.
On a daily basis, you are responsible for providing your foster animal with love, food/water, shelter, safety, training, and proper socialization.
Yes, as long as your animal is altered, up-to-date on all core vaccines, and on monthly preventatives! We will need your veterinarian’s contact information for a vet reference to verify your animal’s medical history. Keep in mind that the foster animal is coming from a shelter or hospital environment and could be harboring an illness, so we recommend keeping the animal separate from your resident animal for at least two weeks.
All different types of dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens. We have orphaned kittens and puppies, senior-care dogs and cats, moms with babies, and animals healing after surgeries of all different sizes and ages.
We ask that you wait until your kitten/puppy or your cat/dog has been fully vaccinated and in the home for more than a month.
That is okay — just let the foster care manager know, and you can bring the foster pet back here.
If you are no longer able to foster, please notify the Foster Program Manager to be removed from our program. If you currently have a foster pet in your care, please contact the Foster Program Manager to make plans to return the animal (and all supplies). We require one (1) week’s notice to remove an animal.
Please call the front desk to reschedule as soon as possible.
No. If you bring your foster animal to an outside veterinarian, we will not cover or reimburse you for the expenses. Гуманное общество Марокко is a non-profit organization and cannot cover the cost of another vet; the animal must come back here for care.
It depends on your time, space, and the needs of the foster pets — you can foster a whole litter of kittens ranging from 2-to 8 at a time or a litter of puppies.
We supply you with the food, bowls, formula, bottles, a crate for dogs, litter pan, litter (non-scoopable), and toys/bed if we have any. If you like a certain brand, unfortunately, you would have to supply that yourself. We can only supply you with what we have in stock here at the Humane Society of Morocco.
Sorry, no — the foster animal must come back to the Humane Society of Morocco if you go out of town.
It varies! We have both short-term foster opportunities that last a couple of weeks and longer-term foster opportunities that last over a month or until the animal is adopted.
No. We have older animals (one year and older) that do not need round-the-clock care. If you are seeking to foster a puppy, you do need to be home most of the day.
Fill out an application; be over 18 years old; live in Rabat or Casablanca area and be allowed to have animals in the home. If you have a family please check with all the adults to make sure everybody wants to foster.
