The Humane Society of the Treasure Coast is aiming to send shelter pets to loving homes this holiday season through its annual Home for the Holidays program. Sponsored by Wilmington Trust, the goal of this special initiative is to get every one of its shelter pets out of the kennels and into warm and loving homes during the holidays.
To meet this goal, the humane society is counting on the public to participate. Animals may be fostered from the main Palm City shelter. Cats also are available at the humane society’s two Stuart thrift stores (2585 SE Federal Highway and 1099 NW 21st St.). Those interested in fostering may view the pets here. Pet pickups will begin at 10 a.m. on December 19, and will continue through 4 p.m. on December 23. The animals must either be returned to the shelter or adopted by 4:30 p.m. on January 3. All adoption fees will be waived on pets that are adopted as a result of this program.
Fisher also encourages participants to introduce their foster animal to their friends, family and neighbors to help facilitate an adoption. “At the very least, it’s an incredible opportunity to get our homeless pets out of the shelter for this special season,” she said.
The humane society requests that fosters provide food bowls, bedding, and toys for their foster pet, however, the shelter will assist if needed.
