Home (with you) for the Holidays – Foster Sleepovers

Home / Home (with you) for the Holidays – Foster Sleepovers

Thank you for your interest in this program!

Due to overwhelming interest, we have closed applications,
but we would still love to have your help!

We are looking for fosters on an ongoing basis to help us with everything from field trips to weekend sleepovers to people who would be interested in fostering for longer periods of time. Please complete a foster application HERE and we will be in touch with you shortly to discuss some upcoming opportunities!

Oh, there’s no place like Home for the Holidays!

This year, brighten the holiday season by hosting a sleepover for a homeless shelter pet who’d love to enjoy all of the tidings of the season with you! Interested families can select an adoptable pet to take home with them on December 24th and host for as many nights as they wish throughout the holiday break. Each pet will go home with a “suitcase” filled with all of the supplies they’ll need during their stay, as well as help and support from the ARL team to ensure your foster pet and your family have a holly jolly time together!

To apply, please complete the application below, or email foster@berksarl.org if you’d like more details. Thank you!

Applications are now closed.

FAQs

Q: What pets can I foster?
A: You may choose any of our adoptable pets on our website HERE. Please know that these pets will be available for adoption between now and pick-up on December 24th, so we recommend making a few selections in case your top choice finds a home before Christmas Eve.

Q: What if the pet isn’t a good match for my home?
A: No worries! Just like traditional fostering, you can bring the pet back anytime. Please be aware that we will have limited hours on Christmas, so any returns need to be scheduled before noon on Christmas day. 

Q: Are these pets spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccines?
A: Yes!

Q: Will there be certain hours for me to drop off or pick up my foster pet?
A: Pick up will be on December 24th from 12PM – 6PM. Drop off times will be scheduled with you at the time of pick up for either December 26th or 27th. If you would like to have your houseguest for an extended stay, please let us know and we will be happy to accommodate! 

Q: Will the pet go home with me with food and supplies?
A: All pets will have their suitcases packed with all the supplies they need for their holiday vacation, but of course they always are up for new toys and treats!

Q: Do I need to do anything special to sign up?
A: Simply complete the form on this page and we’ll get in touch with you as soon as we can to get more information and give you further instructions.

Thank you!
