Outreach – FHS will support people who want to keep their beloved animals in their homes, but need help with food, vet bills, pet supplies, or training and behavioral resources. Foster – FHS will provide foster care for adoptable animals when shelter space is limited or when animals require specialized care to become adoptable, such as very young puppies and kittens, or animals healing from medical issues. Adoption – FHS will find safe, loving homes for each animal in the adoption program. Regardless of the animal's age, breed or length of stay in the shelter, they will remain in the FHS program until a “forever" home is located. Care – FHS respects the life of every animal.
