VOLUNTEERS
Our organization could not exist without volunteers. As a private, non-profit organization, we rely on the assistance of caring and hard-working volunteers in all of our programs. Working directly with the animals can increase their chances of adoption by providing additional human contact. Volunteers also help us inform the community of the goals and objectives of the Sevier Animal Care Center and promote responsible pet ownership.

Fosters
Sevier Animal Care Center
Foster Questionnaire
Foster Questionnaire
Foster Program:
Sevier Animal Care Center utilizes foster homes to provide temporary housing for animals in need. This is an essential component of our mission to find permanent homes for all adoptable animals. Our foster families save lives by opening shelter space and providing animals with attention and care. Open your heart and home to an animal in need!
What types animals need foster care?
Orphaned puppies of kittens that need bottle-feeding.
Un-weaned puppies or kittens with their mother. -OR-
Puppies or kittens old enough to eat on their own but not ready to be spayed or neutered.
Pets with injury, recovery, or weight loss/gain challenges.
Pets awaiting rescue or transport.
Select animals that need time in home for socialization.
How it Works
Step 1:
All animals are examined by our shelter team and given tests, vaccines, de-wormer and flea treatments. The animal’s needs are evaluated.
Step 2: Foster families are informed of the animal’s need for foster care through our FB group for foster families and/or my phone.
Step 3:
The foster family picks up the foster animal(s) and supplies.
Step 4:
The foster animal brings their animal(s) to SACC as needed for examination and vaccines.
Step 5:
When the animal(s) ready for adoption, they will be placed on our adoption floor until a forever home is found.
