Foster Program

What We Do

Program Overview​

Operation Foster is a service of PACT which offers pet fosters for those going on military deployment. We also serve those needing medical treatment. Our goal is for the owner to rest assured that their companion animals are in loving homes until they are reunited.

What Makes Operation Foster Different?

  • We stay with you and the foster through the entire process.
  • We carefully screen and pair fosters and pets.
  • PACT pet parents are responsible for all pet-related costs (food, training, transportation, grooming, vet care, etc). As such, we set up monthly deliveries to avoid out-of-pocket costs for fosters.
