The W2W foster program is for those people who wish to provide shelter, food and care for animals in their home, (Foster Home), until such time they are adopted.
The COVID 19 Pandemic requires changes to our Foster policies.
MASKS MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES INSIDE PETSMART AND MUST COVER THE MOUTH AND NOSE!!!!
1. Fosters must drop off thier cats between 10:00 & 11:00. (a volunteer will come to your car if you need help) (at this time we have Foster Family events at the Humble PetSmart.
2. Fosters are not permitted to stay in the adoption area after dropping off their cats unless special arrangements are made with Ron McCuen 713-504-7838.
3. Adoptions are every Saturday from 11:00 AM until 3:00 PM
4. If not adopted, the foster will pick up their cats BETWEEN 2:30 - 3:00 and come back the next weekend.
5.This process will continue until the animal is adopted.
Fosters MUST be at least 18 years of age and if living with parents, etc. must have their permission to be a foster. Fosters must also complete an orientation and instruction session. The session will vary in number from a single individual to a group of potential volunteers.
The W2W volunteer program is for those wishing to donate their time and talent in a variety of ways.
Volunteers MUST be at least 16 years of age, (under 18 year olds must have a signed "consent" form from their parents), and complete an orientation and instruction session. The session will vary in content based on prior experience.
Volunteers may serve either at our shelter in Porter, Tx. and / or one of our sdoption locations.

Petsmart and Natural Pawz volunteers will help set up / breakdown the tables, kennels,etc. and will help answer basic questions from potential adopters and other duties as assigned.
