About Us
What is Operation Foster?
Operation Foster, a service of PACT, provides peace of mind to military personnel facing deployment and pet owners undergoing medical treatment by placing their pets into safe, loving foster homes until they can be reunited. Since our founding over 15 years ago, we’ve helped more than 3,000 pets in all 50 states.
Someone needing to have their pet fostered starts the process by completing a fostering application. We then match the need against our network of available fosters.
Operation Foster is supported by hundreds of fosters throughout the country and we are always looking for more foster homes. We also do this without collecting a fee and are always looking for volunteers and donations to support our program.
Our Why
Our mission is to keep pets with their owners by providing temporary foster care for military service members and hospitalized medical patients at no cost and preventing beloved companions from entering shelters due to owner crises. We are ultimately aiming for zero permanent separations by supporting the human-animal bond through fostering and education.

Why PACT For Animals?
- 01. Because PACT is making a difference
PACT has received applications from more than 400 pet owners in just the last year, and has personally assisted many of these. We are growing at an amazing pace and expanding to help more people across the country. As more people learn about PACT, they are driving and even flying their pets from all over the country to our safe and supported Foster Homes, because there is no one in their area that can help.
